Exercise 73 Page 15

Recall the formula for finding the area of a circle.

9Ď€ units^2

Practice makes perfect
The area of a circle with radius r is calculated using the formula below. A=Ď€ r^2 From the figure we know that the circle's diameter is 6, so the radius is 3. By substituting 3 for r in the formula, we can calculate A.
A=Ď€ r^2
A=Ď€ * 3^2
A=Ď€ * 9
A=9Ď€
The area of the circle is 9Ď€ squared units.
