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

About 271.6mm^2

Practice makes perfect

We are given that a circle has a radius of 9.3 millimeters.

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= 9.3. Let's calculate the area using this information. We can use 3.14 for π.

A = π r^2

Substitute

r= 9.3

A = π ( 9.3^2)

π ≈ 3.14

A ≈ 3.14 (9.3^2)

Calculate power

A ≈ 3.14 (86.49)

Multiply

A ≈ 271.5786

RoundDec

Round to 1 decimal place(s)

A ≈ 271.6

We found that A ≈ 271.6, which means that the area of the circle is about 271.6 square millimeters.
