<PRE><B>Question 1016478</B>
.
the area of one circular plate is 1256.0 cm^2. The area of a rectangular table is 8.32m^2. 
What is the maximum number of plates that can fit on the table without stacking any of the plates? use pi = 3.14 
-------------------------------------------------------------


Do you see, your formulation is incorrect.


Imagine very long and very narrow rectangle of the area 8.32 m^2.


So narrow what no one circular plate of the given area fits the table.


And what then?
