Exercise 34 Page 612

Recall the formulas for finding the circumference and the area of a circle.

about 113.1cm^2

Practice makes perfect

We need to find the area of the circle. Similar to the perimeter, the area of a circle with radius r is calculated using the formula below. A=Ï€ r^2 We know that the radius of the circle is 6cm. By substituting 6 for r in the formula, we can calculate A.

A=Ï€ r^2
A=Ï€( 6)^2
A=Ï€(36)
A=36Ï€
A=113.097335...
A≈ 113.1

The area of the circle is approximately 113.1 square centimeters.
