Exercise 25 Page 596

Recall the formula for finding the area of a circle.

Approximately 50.3 m^2

Practice makes perfect

We are given a circle and 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 4meters. By substituting 4 for r in the formula, we can calculate A.

A=Ï€ r^2
A=Ï€( 4)^2
A=Ï€(16)
A=50.265482...
A≈ 50.3

The area of the circle is approximately 50.3 square inches.
