Exercise 27 Page 646

Use the formula for the area of a circle.

153.94 ft^2

Practice makes perfect
The area of a circle with radius r is calculated using the formula below. A=π r^2 From the exercise, we know that the radius of the circle is 7 feet. By substituting 7 for r in the formula, we can calculate A.
A=π r^2
A=π( 7)^2
Evaluate right-hand side
A=π * 49
A=153.93804 ...
A≈ 153.94
The area of the circle is approximately 153.94 ft^2.
