Answer: The area of the plate is 81.67 in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have a circle of radius R, the area of this circle can be computed as:
A = pi*R^2
where pi = 3.14
And the circumference is:
C = 2*pi*R
and we know that this is equal to 32 in, then:
32in = 2*pi*R
Now we can isolate R, and we get:
32in/(2*pi) = R
32in/(2*3.14) = R = 5.1 in
Then the area of the plate is:
A = 3.14*(5.1in)^2 = 81.67 in^2
