Problem

The radius of a circle is 6 inches. Which choices best represents the circles area?

Use TT= 3.14po



A: 18.84 inches squared

B: 37.68 inches squared

C: 452.16 inches squared

D: 113.04 inches squared​

Solution

For this case the are of a circle is given by:


A=\pi(r^2)

And since we know that r= 6 inches we can replace and using pi =3.14


A=3.14(6in^{})^2=113.04in^2

And the best option would be:

D. 113.03 inches squared
