The meaning of the area is the measurement of a surface in this case a circle, which can be find by using the formula A=πr^2, where r is equal to the radius of the circle.
In this exercise is given that the radius of a circle is 1.7 units and it is asked to find its area in terms of π. Therefore, to find the area of the circle you should substitute the value of the radius into the formula A=πr^2.
A=πr^2
A=π(1.7)^2
A=2.89π or 9.08 square units
The area of the circle is 2.89π in terms of pi, or 9.08 square units.
