Question

a group of tibetan monks create a sand mandala at an art museum. the mandala is in the shape of a circle with a radius of 3 ft. what is the area of the sand mandala? use 3.14 for π. a =? ft²

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area - formula for circle

The formula for the area of a circle is $A = \pi r^{2}$, where $r$ is the radius.

Step2: Substitute given values

Given $r = 3$ ft and $\pi=3.14$, we substitute into the formula: $A=3.14\times3^{2}$.

Step3: Calculate the result

First, $3^{2}=9$. Then $A = 3.14\times9=28.26$ $ft^{2}$.

Answer:

$28.26$ $ft^{2}$
