Exercise 5 Page 606

Recall the formula for finding the area of a circle.

About 78.54 in^2

Practice makes perfect

The area of a circle with radius r is calculated using the formula below. A=Ï€ r^2 We know that the radius of the circle is 5 inches. By substituting 5 for r in the formula, we can calculate A.

A=Ï€ r^2
A=Ï€( 5)^2
A=Ï€ * 25
A=78.539816 ...
A≈ 78.54

The area of the circle is approximately 78.54 in^2.
