A circle in a square 2020-04-02
From Sabra:
Hello, I have twins in the 7th grade that are learning how to find circumference of circles. I am struggling with figuring out how to help my children to find the answer to this question:

Tye has a square piece of yellow felt that has an area of 81 square inches. She wants to cut the largest circle possible from the material to create a sun for her art project. What is the area of the felt circle? Use 3.14 for pi. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.

I wasn't sure if I am to find the area of the circle through finding the area of the square or what steps we needed to follow to find the answer. Once I can see how one is worked out step-by-step, I usually can help them along with questions that are similar.
