We are told that the Girl Scout patch has the shape of a circle with a diameter of 1.25 inches.
We want to find of the area of the patch. Recall that the area A of a circle equals the product of π and the square of its radius r.
A = π r^2
Since the diameter of the circle is 1.25 inches, the radius of the circle is ( 12* 1.25) inches or 0.625 inch. Let's calculate the area using this information. We can use 3.14 for π.
