A circular plate has circumference 16.3 inches. What is the area of this plate?

Circumference:  C = 2πr = 16.3

2(3.14)r = 16.3

r = 16.3/6.28

r = 2.5955414

Area:  A = πr2

A = 3.14(2.5955414)2

A = 21.15366242 in2

Rounded to nearest whole number the area is 21 in2

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise some rules of a circle

- The circumference of a circle = 2πr , where r is the radius of it

- The area of the circle = πr²

* Lets solve the problem

∵ A circular plate has circumference 16.3 inches

∵ The circumference = 2πr

∵ π = 3.14

- Lets find the radius of the plate

∵ 16.3 = 2(3.14)r

∴ 16.3 = 6.28r

- Divide both sides by 6.28

∴ r = 16.3/6.28 = 2.5955 ≅ 2.6

∴ The radius of the plate is 2.6 inches

* Lets find the area of the plate

∵ The area = πr²

∵ π = 3.14

∵ 4 = 2.6

∴ The area = 3.14(2.6)² = 21.22 ≅ 21

* The area of the plate is 21 inches
