What is the area of the largest circular fire that can be made in this fire pit? Use 3.14 for π. Round to the nearest square inch.
!no absurd answers, please! : (

Area of the largest circle fit in the fire pit is 4069.44 square inches.

Solution:

Length of the rectangular pit = 7 feet

Width of the rectangular pit = 6 feet

The diameter of a largest circle inscribed in a rectangle is equal to the smaller side of the rectangle.

Diameter of the largest circle = 6 feet

Radius of the largest circle = 3 feet

Area of the circle = πr²

                             = 3.14 × 3²

Area of the circle = 28.26 square feet

Let us convert square feet into square inches.

1 square feet = 144 square inches

28.26 square feet = 28.26 × 144

                              = 4069.44 square inches

Area of the largest circle fit in the fire pit is 4069.44 square inches.
