Question

Jack is drawing circles on a playground for a game. If he draws a circle with a radius 3 feet, what is the area of the circle, to the nearest square foot?

Answer 1

28.2743 square feet (28 square feet, rounded)

Explanation:

The area of a circle is given by the equation

Area = πr^2

Plug in 3 for the radius

Area= π(3)^2

3 squared is 9

Area= 9 π

Area= 28.2743 square feet

Rounded to the nearest square foot, the area of the circle is 28 square feet.
