Area of a Circle
To solve this problem, we need find the area of a circle and it is given by
[tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]
- a = area of circle
- r = radius
let's find the radius of the circle
[tex]radius = \frac{diameter}{2} \\r = 15/2\\r = 7.5[/tex]
The area of the pie dish can be calculated as
[tex]a = \pi r^2\\a = 3.14 * 7.5^2\\a = 3.14 * 56.25\\a = 176.625in^2[/tex]
The area of the pie dish is 176.625 in^2
