Exercise 28 Page 646

Use the formula for the area of a circle.

380.13 cm^2

Practice makes perfect
The area of a circle with radius r is calculated using the formula below. A=π r^2From the exercise, we know that the diameter of the circle is 22cm. To use the formula we first need to divide the diameter by 2 to determine the radius. r=22/2=11 Now, by substituting 11 for r in the formula we can calculate A.
A=π r^2
A=π( 11)^2
Evaluate right-hand side
A=π * 121
A=380.13271 ...
A≈380.13
The area of the circle is approximately 380.13 cm^2.
