Question 1076509: Suppose the spread of an oil leak from a tanker can be approximated by a circle with the tanker at its center and radius r, in feet. The radius of the spill t hours after the beginning of the leak is given by
r(t) = 48t.
(a) Find the area of the spill as a function of time.
A(t) = π(48t)^2
What is the area of the spill after 8 h? Round to the nearest whole number.

The radius would be 384 feet and the area would be (384^2)*pi, or 463,247 ft^2.
