Question

Find the area of the circle pictured above. Round your answer to the nearest tenth in^2

Answer 1

Area of the circle is 28.3 in^2

Here, we want to find the area of the circle

Mathematically, the area is;

`\begin{gathered} \text{Area of circle = }\pi\text{ }* r^2 \\ But\text{ r = }(d)/(2) \\ \\ Area\text{ of circle = }\frac{\pi\text{ }* d^2}{4} \\ \\ from\text{ the question, d = 6 inches} \\ \pi\text{ = }(22)/(7) \\ \\ \\ \text{Area of circle = }\frac{\frac{22}{7\text{ }}\text{ }*6^2}{4} \\ \\ \text{Area of circle = }\frac{22\text{ }*\text{ 36}}{28} \\ \\ \text{Area of circle = 28.2857} \\ \\ \text{Area of circle = 28.3 in\textasciicircum{}2} \end{gathered}`
