Exercise 22 Page 596

Recall the formula for finding the area of a circle.

About 254.1 in.^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 9 inches. By substituting 9 for r in the formula, we can calculate A.

A=Ï€ r^2
A=Ï€( 9)^2
A=Ï€(81)
A=254.469 005...
A≈ 254.5

The area of the circle is approximately 254.5 square inches.
