To find the area of a circular table with a diameter of 2.5 feet, you need to use the formula for the area of a circle, which is A = πr^2 (where A is the area and r is the radius).
1. Given that the diameter is 2.5 feet, you first need to find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2. So, radius (r) = 2.5 feet / 2 = 1.25 feet.
2. Now that you have the radius, you can plug it into the formula for the area of a circle. A = π * (1.25)^2.
3. Calculate the area by squaring the radius: (1.25)^2 = 1.5625.
4. Multiply this result by π (pi), which is approximately 3.14159, to find the area: A = 3.14159 * 1.5625 = 4.908737 square feet.
Therefore, the area of the circular table is approximately 4.91 square feet.
