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

About 50.2in.^2

Practice makes perfect

Let's consider the given 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= 4. Let's calculate the area using this information. We can use 3.14 for π.

A = π r^2

Substitute

r= 4

A = π ( 4^2)

π ≈ 3.14

A ≈ 3.14 (4^2)

CalcPow

Calculate power

A ≈ 3.14 (16)

Multiply

A ≈ 50.24

RoundDec

Round to 1 decimal place(s)

A ≈ 50.2

We found that A ≈ 50.2, which means that the area of the circle is about 50.2 square inches.
