Answer:

About 34 inches²

Step-by-step explanation:

       Circumference of a circle:

C = 2πr

20.7 inches = 2(3.14)r

20.7 inches = 6.28r

r ≈ 3.296 inches

       Area of a circle:

A = πr²

A = (3.14)(3.296)²

A ≈ 34.13 inches²

         The plate is about 34 inches².

Question -:

A circular plate has a circumference 20.7 inches . What is the area of the plate.

Explanation -:

In this problem we are provided the circumference of the circular plate which is 20.7 inches and asked to find the area of the circular plate.

[tex] \small \underline{ \underline{\rm \purple{ {First \: we \: will \: calculate \: the \: value \: of \: r}}}}[/tex]

We know,

[tex] \orange \star \: \large \boxed{ \orange{ \rm{ Circumference_{(circle)} = 2πr}}}[/tex]

Where,

  • r stand for radius
  • Assuming π as 3.14

Substituting the values we get

[tex] \small\bf{ 20.7 = 2 × 3.14 × r}[/tex]

[tex] \small\rm{ \cancel\dfrac{20.7}{2} =3.14 × r}[/tex]

[tex] \rightarrow \small\rm{ 10.35 =3.14 × r}[/tex]

[tex] \rightarrow \small\rm{ \cancel \dfrac{ 10.35 }{3.14} = r} [/tex]

[tex] \small \rm \red{r \approx 3.29inches} [/tex]

[tex] \small \underline{ \underline{ \purple{\rm Now \: we \: will \: calculate \: the \: area \: of \: the \: circular \: plate}}}[/tex]

[tex] \pink\star \: \large\boxed{ \rm{ \pink{Area_{(circle)} = πr²}}}[/tex]

[tex] \small\bf{ Area_{(circle)} = 3.14 × {3.29}^{2} }[/tex]

[tex] \small\rm{ Area_{(circle)} = 3.14 × 10.82}[/tex]

[tex] \small\rm \red{{Area_{(circle)} \approx33.97inches} }[/tex]

Area of the circular plate 33.97 inches
