Answer :

The diameter of the coaster is 5 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The area of the circle = 19.63 sq inch

To find the diameter, we need to find the radius

Formula

The area of a circle with radius(r) = π[tex]r^{2}[/tex] sq cm

According to the problem,

π[tex]r^{2}[/tex]  = 19.63

or, [tex]r^{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7 X 19.63}{22}[/tex]

= 6.2459

or, r = [tex]\sqrt{6.2459}[/tex] = 2.499 (approx)

= 2.5 cm

Hence the diameter of the circle  = 2 × 2.5 cm = 5 cm
