The answer would be 4.2

The momentum of a variable is represented by the rate of change. The average rate of change in the area as the radius changes from 2.5 to 5.5 feet is 25.1327ft² per ft.

What is the rate of change?

The momentum of a variable is represented by the rate of change, which is used to quantitatively express the percentage change in value over a specific period of time.

The area of the circle when the radius of the circle is 2.5 feet is,

Area of circle = π × (2.5 feet)²

                      = 19.635 ft²

The area of the circle when the radius of the circle is 5.5 feet is,

Area of circle = π × (5.5 feet)²

                      = 95.0332 ft²

Now, the average rate of change in the area as the radius changes from 2.5 to 5.5 feet is,

Average rate of change = (Change in the area)/(Change in radius)

                                         = (95.0332 ft² - 19.635 ft²) / (5.5 ft - 2.5 ft)

                                         = 25.1327ft² per ft

Hence, the average rate of change in the area as the radius changes from 2.5 to 5.5 feet is 25.1327ft² per ft.
