Exercise 64 Page 71

Use the formulas for the area and circumference of a circle to find the area.

A=9Ď€/25 units^2

Practice makes perfect
We can find the area of the circle using the formula for the area of a circle. First, we need to find the radius by substituting the given value, 6π5 into the equation for the circumference in terms of r. C=2π r ⇒ 6π/5=2π rNow, we can solve for r.
6Ď€/5=2Ď€ r
6/10=r
3/5=r
Finally, we can substitute the radius into the equation for the area of circle. A=π r^2 ⇒ A=π (3/5)^2 When we square 35, we find the solution, A=π * 925 making the area 9π25 units^2.
