Question

Find the approximate area of a circle thet has a diameter of 17 inches. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth

A. 26.69 in 2
B. 106.76 in 2
C. 226.87 in 2
D. 53.38 in 2

Answer 1

For this case we have that by definition, the area of a circle is given by:

`A = \pi * r ^ 2`

Where:

A: It is the radius of the circle.

If they tell us that the diameter is 17 inches, then the radius is 8.5 inches. Substituting:

`A = \pi * (8.5) ^ 2\\A = 226,865`

If we round up, we have that the area is:

226.87 square inches
