Question 486808: A circular fountain has a diameter of 10 meters. How many square shaped tiles are needed to cover the bottom if each tile is 1 square decimeter?
Here's my answer, but I may have put the decimal in the wrong place:
100dm A= 3.14(50)2
A= 3.14(2500)
A= 7850 dm2 x $.69
Total cost= $5416.50
That seems really high for the cost. Should it be $541.65? Did I forget a step? Did I convert the meters to decimeters incorrectly?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You are doing fine.
Note that there is an assumption that these tiles can be used broken, otherwise one needs to add a few more.
The reason the count/cost seems high is that you are covering a good part of a football field out to the 30 yard line with 4 inch tiles.
