Answer:
The area of the circular cross section of the pipe is [tex]100\pi\ cm^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of the circle (cross section of the pipe) is equal to
[tex]A=\pi r^{2}[/tex]
we have
[tex]r=20/2=10\ cm[/tex] ----> the radius is half the diameter
substitute
[tex]A=\pi (10)^{2}[/tex]
[tex]A=100\pi\ cm^{2}[/tex]
