Our friends, the Egyptians, also had a clever method for calculating the area of a circle. Their method was equivalent to the formula , where is the diameter of the circle. Use this Egyptian formula (not our modern formula) to find the following:
A) The area of a circle with diameter of 93.
Answer: Area =
Round your answer to two decimal places (hundredths).
B) The area of a circle with diameter of 72.
Answer: Area =
Round your answer to two decimal places (hundredths).
Note: Can you determine what value of the Egyptians were essentially adopting? Try it! (This question is not officially part of this problem.)
