The circumference of a circle is about 7.85 meters using 3.14 for pi. find the area of the circle. round answer to the nearest hundredth.
We need to find the radius
Circumference = 2 * 3.14 * radius
7.85 = 2 * 3.14 * radius divide both sides by 2 * 3.14 = 6.28
[7.85 / 6.28 ] m = radius
And the area, A, is given by :
A = 3.14 * radius^2 = 3.14 * [ 7.85 / 6.28]^2 ≈ 4.91 m^2
