with its arc as the length of the base, and the radius, the altitude. Since the sum of the arcs equals the circumfer

ence, the area of the circle is found by multiplying the circumference by the radius.

3035. Find the area of a circle whose radius is 60 inches.

SOLUTION

[ocr errors]

2 × 60 in. 120 in., the diameter; 3.1416 × 120 in. 376.992 in., the circumference; 30 × 376.992 = 1130.976 sq. in., the area.

NOTE. By cutting out a circle and a square of equal diameters from a board of uniform thickness, it is found that the weight of the circular board equals .7854 of that of the square board. But the circumscribed square equals 4 times the square of the radius. - Then the area of the circle equals .7854 times the square, or 3.1416 times the square of the radius.
