Q. An engineer is planning a new water pipe installation. The circular pipe has a diameter of d=20cm.What is the area A of the circular cross section of this pipe?Give your answer in terms of pi.A=□cm2
Circle Area Formula: The formula for the area of a circle is A=πr2, where r is the radius.
Find Radius: First, find the radius of the circle. The radius is half of the diameter, so r=2d.
Calculate Radius: The diameter d is given as 20cm, so the radius r is 20cm / 2 = 10cm.
Plug into Formula: Now, plug the radius into the area formula: A=π(10cm)2.
Calculate Area: Calculate the area: A=π(100cm2).
Final Result: The area of the circular cross section is A=100πcm2.
