Answer: So to cover the patio it would take 255 whole tiles. 254.469 if you want to be exact.
Step-by-step explanation:
When finding flooring needed we are finding for area. We know the formula for finding the area of a circle is A=[tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex] so we plug in our known variables...
we know r because radius is half of diameter and diameter was given in problem. So half of 18 is 9.
r=9
A=[tex]\pi 9^{2}[/tex]
A=[tex]\pi[/tex]81
A=254.469
