------------------------------------------------------
Formula
------------------------------------------------------
Area of circle = πr²

------------------------------------------------------
Find Radius
------------------------------------------------------
200.96 = πr²
r² = 200.96 ÷ π
r² = 63.97
r = √63.97
r = 8 km (nearest hundredth)

------------------------------------------------------
Formula
------------------------------------------------------
Circumference = πD

------------------------------------------------------
Find Diameter
------------------------------------------------------
Diameter = Radius x 2
Diameter = 8 x 2
Diameter = 16 km

------------------------------------------------------
Find Circumference
------------------------------------------------------
Circumference = πD
Circumference = π (16)
Circumference = 25.13 km

------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Circumference = 25.13km

we know that

the area of a circle is equal to


A=\pi r^(2)

the circumference of a circle is equal to


C=2\pi r

where

r is the radius of the circle

in this problem we have


A=200.96\ km^(2)

Step
1

Find the radius of the circle


A=\pi r^(2)


A=200.96\ km^(2)

so


200.96=\pi r^(2)


r^(2)=(200.96/3.14)


r^(2)=64\\ r=8\ km

Step
2

Find the circumference of the circle


C=2\pi r


C=2*3.14*8


C=50.24\ km

therefore

the answer is

the circumference is equal to
50.24\ km
