Question

a group of tibetan monks create a sand mandala at an art museum. the mandala is in the shape of a circle with a radius of 2 ft. what is the area of the sand mandala? use 3.14 for π. a = ft²

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula for circle

$A = \pi r^2$

Step2: Substitute values ($r=2$, $\pi=3.14$)

$A = 3.14 \times 2^2$

Step3: Calculate $2^2$

$2^2 = 4$

Step4: Compute final area

$A = 3.14 \times 4 = 12.56$

Answer:

12.56
