To compute the area of the circle.

Answer to Problem 10PPS

  $707.1$ squareinches.

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Radius ‘r’$=15$ inches.

Formula used: Area of circle $A=\pi \times r^2$

Calculation: $A=\pi \times r^2$

Formula of the area of a circle.

  $=\frac{22}{7}\times 15\times 15$

Taken ‘pi’ as $\frac{22}{7}$ .

  $=\frac{4950}{7}$

Dividing the numerator by the denominator.

  $=707.14$
