The circumference of a circular rug is 24.8 meters. What is the area of the rug? Use 3.1 for pi

49.6 square meters.

First, let's find the radius of the rug. The radius is equal to the circumference divided by 2pi, or 2 * 3.1, which is 6.2, in this case.

24.8/6.2

4

The radius is 4. The area of a circle is pi times the radius squared.

3.1 * 4^2

3.1 * 16

49.6

So, the area of the rug is 49.6 square meters.

49.6 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

first, circumference is 2*pi*r, so we want to find r. so we take 2*pi*r=24.8 and solve for r which is 4.

Now, area is pi*r^2 so pi*4^2 = pi*16 = 49.6
