A round glass mirror measures 1 foot from the center to the edge. How many square inches of glass are in the mirror

Question

How many. Square inches of glass in the mirror?

Answer 1

Hello Muhammad,

First, the equation for determining the area of a circle - which we will need to solve this problem - is as follows:

A = π r² where A equals area, π equals pie, and r equals the radius which is squared. Since the mirror measures 1 foot from the center to the edge, we can consider the radius to be 12 inches, okay?

Second, all we need do now is to substitute for π and r²

Therefore:

A = 3.14 *12²

A = 3.14 * 144

A = 452.16 inches squared
