Question 430712: A baseball field is a quarter circle. If the distance down each foul line in 360 ft, what is the area of the baseball field to the nearest whole number?
Thank you! Answer by oberobic(2304) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given: Circle radius = 360ft
Known: Area of circle = pi*r^2
So, Area of circle = pi*(360^2)
Area of circle = 407150.408
.
But the area of a baseball field is 1/4 the area of the circle, which = 101787.602.
.
The answer is 101788, which is the "nearest whole number."
.
Done.
