Exercise 1 Page 786

Recall the formula for finding the area of a circle.

1385.4yd^2

Practice makes perfect
The area of a circle with radius r is calculated using the formula below. A=π r^2 From the figure, we know that the radius of the circle is 21yd. By substituting 21 for r in the formula, we can calculate A.
A=π r^2
A=π( 21)^2
A=π(441)
A=1385.442360...
A≈ 1385.4
The area of the circle is approximately 1385.4 square yards.
