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 0.5 m.
what is the area of the sand mandala? use 3.14 for π.
a = πr²
= 3.14 m²
a = πr²
= 3.14 · (0.5)²

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the square of the radius

$$(0.5)^2=0.25$$

Step2: Multiply by the value of $\pi$

$$3.14\times0.25 = 0.785$$

Answer:

$0.785$
