The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where A is the area and r is the radius.
Given that the radius is 2.65 in and π is approximately 3.14, we can substitute the values into the formula:
A = 3.14 × (2.65)^2
Simplifying the expression, we get:
A = 3.14 × 7.0225
A ≈ 22.05
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, we get:
A ≈ 22.05 in^2
Therefore, the area of the circle with a radius of 2.65 in is approximately 22.05 square inches.
