Answer to Problem 1CYP

Area $A=452.16inc{h}^2$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The archery target has a radius of 12 inches.

Formula used:

The area of the circle of radius r is:

  A = $\pi r^2.$

Calculation:

The area of the circle of radius r is:

  $\begin{array}{l}A=\pi r^2.\\ r=12inch,\pi =\mathrm{3.14.}\\ A=3.14\times {12}^2\\ A=452.16inc{h}^2.\end{array}$
