A birthday cake has a diameter of 9 inches. A wedding cake has a diameter of 14 inches. What is thedifference in area between the top surfaces of the two cakes?

Respuesta :

90.32 square inches

Explanation

Step 1

the area of the circle is given by:

[tex]\text{Area}=\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot diameter^2[/tex]

Step 2

find the areas

birthday cake

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Area}_b=\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot9^2 \\ \text{Area}_b=\frac{81\pi}{4} \\ \text{Area}_b=\frac{254.46}{4} \\ \text{Area}_b=63.61\text{ square inches} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now, the wedding cake

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Area}_w=\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot14^2 \\ \text{Area}_w=\frac{\pi}{4}\cdot196\text{ square inches} \\ \text{Area}_w=49\cdot\pi\text{ square inches} \\ \text{Area}_w=153.93\text{ square inches} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Step 3

finally, find the difference

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{difference}=153.93\text{ square inches-63.61 inches} \\ \text{difference}=90.32 \end{gathered}[/tex]

so, the answer is 90.32 square inches
