Ms. Kale's art students are

| creating a circular mural that has

a height of 8.5 feet at its

center. What is the area of the

mural to the nearest tenth?

Answer: 56.7 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation: The area of a circle is (pi) r^2

According to the problem, the height of the circular mural is 8.5 at its center. I'm assuming this means that this measurement is the diameter, which means we need to divide by 2 to get the radius.

8.5/2 = 4.25

Using pi as 3.14: (3.14) 4.25^2 = 56.72
