Problema Solution

A circular quilt is made from 113.04 square feet of fabric. How much trim is needed to go around its edge? Use 3.14 for pi.

Answer provided by our tutors

Let


r = the radius of the circular quilt, r>0


pi = 3.14


A = 113.04 the area of the circular quilt


We need to find the circumference C of the circular quilt, but in order to do that, first we have to find the radius:


A = r^2*pi


r^2*3.14 = 113.04

r = 6 ft


C = 2*r*pi


C = 2*6*3.14


C = 37.68 ft


37.68 ft of trim is needed.
