Question

A circular well has a radius 3 m .If a platform of uniform width of 1.5 m is laid around it, find the area of the platform .

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

the radius of circular well = 3 cm

So, Area of circular well = 22/7 * r^2

Taking 22/7 = 3.14,

= 3.14* 9 cm^2

=28.26 cm^2

Since, Width of platform laid around well is 1.5 m.

so, the outer radius

= (3+1.5)cm=4.5cm

Then, the Area of outer boundary

= 22/7 * r^2

Taking 22/7 = 3.14,

= 3.14 * (4.5cm)^2

= 3.14 * 20.25 cm^2

= 63.585 cm^2

Now,

Since, Area of outer boundary of circular well is 63.585 cm^2 .

so, the area of platform

= Area of outer boundary of circular well - Area of circular well

= (63.585 - 28.26)cm^2

= 35.325 cm^2

Answer 2

7.07m Squared is the area
