Question

question 18 of 20 : select the best answer for the question. 18. the distance from the center of a round table top to the edge of the table top is 4 ft. whats the area of the table top? a. 16 sq. ft. b. 38 sq. ft. c. 25.14 sq. ft. d. 50.24 sq. ft. mark for review (will be highlighted on the review page) << previous question next question >>

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the radius

The distance from the center to the edge of a circle is the radius (\(r\)). Here, \(r = 4\) ft.

Step2: Recall the area formula for a circle

The formula for the area (\(A\)) of a circle is \(A=\pi r^{2}\).

Step3: Substitute the radius into the formula

Substitute \(r = 4\) into the formula: \(A=\pi\times(4)^{2}\).

Step4: Calculate the area

First, calculate \(4^{2}=16\). Then, \(A = \pi\times16\). Using \(\pi\approx3.14\), we get \(A\approx3.14\times16 = 50.24\) square feet.

Answer:

D. 50.24 sq. ft.
