Question

A clock has a diameter of 16 inches. Which measurement is closest to the area of the clock in square inches? 804.25 in2 50.27 in2 25.13 in2 200.96 in2

Answer 1

200.96 in2

Explanation:

Area of a circle = nr²

n = 3.14

r = radius

the diameter is the straight line that passes through the centre of a circle and touches the two edges of the circle.

A radius is half of the diameter

diameter = 2r

radius = 16 inches / 2 = 8 in

Area = 3.14 x 8² = 200.96 in²
