Moe painted the lid of a barrel. The circumference of the lid is 32 pi( pie) inches. Which measurement is closest to the area of the lid in square inches?

Area of lid = 804.35 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Circumference of lid = 32π inches

To find the area of the lid;

First of all, we would find the radius of the lid (circle).

Circumference of circle = 2πr

Substituting into the formula, we have;

32π = 2πr

Radius, r = 32π/2π

Radius, r = 16 inches.

Now, we can solve for the area of the circle using the formula;

Area of circle = πr²

Area of lid = 3.142*16²

Area of lid = 3.142 * 256

Area of lid = 804.35 square inches.

In terms of pie, area of lid = 256π square inches.

Therefore, the measurement which is closest to the area of the lid in square inches is 804.35 or 256π.

answer: both chords and diameters have two endpoints on a circle. diameters must intersect the center of a circle.
