Question

A circle is inscribed in a square as shown. but I don't think you need the picture to solve the problem, it's a circle in side a square but it has no numbers around it. The square has a length of 16 inches. What is the area of the circle rounded to the nearest hundredths? Plz show work and explain.

A. 50.27
`in^(2)`

B. 100.53
`in^(2)`

C . 200.96
`in^(2)`

D. 804. 25
`in^(2)`

Answer 1

Explanation:

The diameter is the same length as the side of the square.

The radius of the circle is 16/2 = 8

Area = pi * r^2

Area = 3.14 * 8*8

Area = 64 * 3.14

Area = 200.96 in^2
