Answer:

The top of the cake is 25.12 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

So you are dealing with a circumference question! And because the diameter is 2x the radius, we know the radius is actually 4.

Lets write out the circumference formula and use that to help us.

c = 2[tex]\\\pi[/tex] x r

pi is 3.14....

But lets use 3.14

c = 2(3.14) x 4

Plus this into a calculator and we get 25.12 as the answer.

Answer:

≈50.265 [tex]in^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

You first have to find the radius since the formula for the area of a circle is  A=[tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex].

Since the radius is half the diameter, just divide 8 by 2 which will give you 4.

r=4

Now plug in the radius into the formula and simplify.

A=[tex]\pi 4^{2}[/tex]

[tex]A=\pi 16[/tex]

≈50.265 [tex]in^{2}[/tex]
