Question 904428: Marian is making a circular tablecloth from a rectangular piece of fabric that measures 6 yards by 4 yards. What is the area of the largest circular piece that can be cut from the fabric? Leave your answer in terms of pie(3.14). Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! she has a rectangular piece of fabric that measures 6 yeards by 4 yards.
she's constrained by the 4 yards which will only allow a circle with a diameter of 4.
therefore the largest circle she can make is a circle with a radius of 2 yards
the area of the circle is pi*r^2 which is equal to 4*pi square yards.
