Exercise 30 Page 65

To find the area, use the formula A=π r^2.

452.4 in.^2

Practice makes perfect
To find the area of a circle, we use the following formula. A=π r^2 We know that this circle has a radius of 12 inches, so we can substitute 12 for r in the formula.
A=π r^2

r= 12

A=π( 12)^2
A=π(144)
A=452.3893421
A≈452.4
The area is approximately 452.4 inches^2.
