Question

liliana is making a vase with a circular base. she wants the area of the base to be between \\(135\text{ cm}^2\\) and \\(155\text{ cm}^2\\).

which circle could represent the base of the vase?
use \\(3.14\\) for \\(\pi\\).

Calculate the area for each radius option

\[

$$\begin{aligned} &\text{For } r = 6\text{ cm}: A = 3.14 \times 6^2 = 3.14 \times 36 = 113.04\text{ cm}^2 \\ &\text{For } r = 7\text{ cm}: A = 3.14 \times 7^2 = 3.14 \times 49 = 153.86\text{ cm}^2 \\ &\text{For } r = 8\text{ cm}: A = 3.14 \times 8^2 = 3.14 \times 64 = 200.96\text{ cm}^2 \end{aligned}$$

\]

Compare calculated areas with the target range

\[

$$\begin{aligned} &135 < 153.86 < 155 \\ &\text{The circle with radius } 7\text{ cm satisfies the condition.} \end{aligned}$$

\]
