Problem

An engineer is planning a new water pipe installation. The circular pipe has a diameter of d=20\text{ cm}d=20 cmd, equals, 20, space, c, m.

What is the area AAA of the circular cross section of this pipe?

Give your answer in terms of pi.

Respuesta :

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]
