The dimensions of the bottom of the drawer are: 20 cm × 40 cm
So the area is : 800 cm² (rectangular shaped)
The area formula of a circle is: [tex] \pi [/tex]r² The diameter of the plate is 20cm so the radius is half the diameter which is 10cm Apply the given to the formula: [tex] \pi [/tex](10)² 100[tex] \pi [/tex] 314.16 cm²
2 plates in the bottom drawer Area of two plates: 2 × 314.16 628.32 cm²
