The picture is like the diameter of the whole is 6 the width of the table is 2 and the length is 4 Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source):
The area of the table is 4*2 = 8 square units (replace "units" with "inches", "feet", etc...whatever unit you're using)
The area of the circular hole is approximately A = pi*r^2 = 3.14*3^2 = 28.26 square units.
The problem is this: if the hole is a circle and it's a hole in the rectangular table, then shouldn't the hole have a smaller area than the rectangular table? The area of the circle should be less (since the circular hole is smaller than the table)
There has to be a typo somewhere. Please double check the numbers and let me know if there is one or not. Thanks.
