Question 155945: A circular table has an area of 1256 sq. in. The table opens in the middle to allow the addition of leaves. Each leaf is 12 " wide and is rectangular in shape.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1256=pir^2
1256=3.14*x^2
x^2=1256/3.14
x^2=400
x=sqrt400
x=20 in. is the radius
1256+12*20*x=2696
240x=2696-1256
240x=1440
x=1440/240
x=6 leafs will be needed.

:
I think the previous solution is wrong. He should have used the diameter: 40"
then only 3 leaves would be required
