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 0.5 m. what is the area of the sand mandala? use 3.14 for π. $a = pi r^2$ =? $m^2$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify given values

Radius $r = 0.5$ m, $\pi = 3.14$

Step2: Square the radius

$r^2 = (0.5)^2 = 0.25$

Step3: Calculate area

$A = \pi r^2 = 3.14 \times 0.25 = 0.785$

Answer:

0.785
