Answer: area of fabric needed is 50.24 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
The table in the shape of a circle has a diameter of 6 feet. This means that the diameter of the fabric that would just fit the table is 6 feet. Therefore, the diameter of the fabric needed to make a table cloth if it hangs 1 foot off the table would be 6 + 1 + 1 = 8 feet
The formula for determining the area of a circle is expressed as
Area = πr²
Where
r represents radius of the circle.
π is a constant whose value is 3.14
Radius = diameter/2. Therefore
r = 8/2 = 4
Area of fabric = 3.14 × 4²
= 50.24 ft²
