Exercise 21 Page 596

Recall the formula for finding the area of a circle.

About 201.1 cm^2

Practice makes perfect

We are given a circle and we want to find its area.

The area of a circle with radius r is calculated using the formula below. A=Ï€ r^2 From the figure we know that the radius of the circle is 8cm. By substituting 8 for r in the formula, we can calculate A.

A=Ï€ r^2
A=Ï€( 8)^2
A=Ï€(64)
A=201.061930...
A≈ 201.1

The area of the circle is approximately 201.1 square centimeters.
