FLYING DISC A toy factory manufactures plastic flying discs. Each disc has a diameter of 11.5 inches. a. Find the area of one flying disc. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. in2 b. If the plastic sheeting and production needed to produce a flying disc costs $0.01 per square inch, what is the minimum costs to produce 10 flying discs? Round to the nearest cent. about $
Step-by-step explanation:To find the area of one flying disc with a diameter of 11.5 inches, we can use the formula for the area of a circle: where is the diameter. Given that the diameter is 11.5 inches, we can substitute it into the formula: Therefore, the area of one flying disc is approximately 33.2 square inches. To calculate the minimum cost to produce 10 flying discs, we need to find the total cost of the plastic sheeting and production for 10 discs. The cost per square inch is $0.01. The total cost would be the area of one disc multiplied by the number of discs and the cost per square inch: Therefore, the minimum cost to produce 10 flying discs would be approximately $3.32.
