An artist is creating a large butterfly sculpture outside a museum. there is a circular dot on each wing made out of a metal ring. the distance around each dot is 24π inches . the artist plans to fill the inside of each dot with blue colored glass. what is the area of the blue glass will be needed to fill each butterfly dot?

144 π  or 452.4 sq inches, for each dot

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the perimeter of the circle (24π), and we are asked to find the area of the circle basically.

The Circumference of a circle is given by C = 2 * π * r

while its area is given by A = π r²

So, having the circumference, we can isolate r to use it in the area calculation.

C = 2  * π * r

24π = 2 * π * r  (now dividing both sides by 2π)

12 = r

The radius is 12 inches.

That means the area of one dot is:

A = π r² = π 12² = 144 π sq inches

The amount of blue glass needed for each dot is 144 π  or 452.4 sq inches
