A circular placemat has 44 inches of braid around the edge. What is the area of the placemat to the nearest square inch? Use 3.14 for π.

153.86 in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

A circular placemat has 44 inches of braid around the edge

hence the circumference of the placemat is 44 in

C= 2πr

44= 2*3.14r

r= 44/2*3.14

r= 44/6.28

r= 7.00 in

Area= πr^2

Area= 3.14*7^2

Area= 3.14*49

Area= 153.86 in^3

Hence the area is 153.86 in^3
