When finished, the cover will fit exactly with no excess hanging off. Sally has to cut the fabric circle with a founr inch larger diameter than the table to allow for hemming. If the table has a diameter of 72 inches, how much fabric does Sally need? (Use 3.14 for Pi. Round to two decimals places.)   Thanks again for your help.     Sharon </SPAN>\n" );
