2. Area of Circles

Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 5 Page 627

The area of a circle equals the product of π and the square of its radius.

About 124.6mm^2

Practice makes perfect

We are given that a circle has a radius of 6.3 millimeters.

Circle

We want to find the area of the circle. Recall that the area A of a circle equals the product of π and the square of its radius r. A = π r^2 In this case, r= 6.3. Let's calculate the area using this information. We can use 3.14 for π.

A = π r^2

r= 6.3

A = π ( 6.3^2)

π ≈ 3.14

A ≈ 3.14 (6.3^2)

Calculate power

A ≈ 3.14 (39.69)

Multiply

A ≈ 124.6266

Round to 1 decimal place(s)

A ≈ 124.6

We found that A ≈ 124.6, which means that the area of the circle is about 124.6 square millimeters.
