Answer :
Answer:
531 square inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a circle : A = πr^2
r = radius of the circle
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since the diameter of the tire is 26 inches, the radius is half of the diameter, so r = 26 / 2 = 13 inches.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, we can plug in the value of r into the formula:
A = π(13)^2
A = π(169)
A = 169π
Approximating π to 3.14, we get:
A ≈ 169 * 3.14
A ≈ 531
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, the area of the tire is approximately 531 square inches.
