Final answer:

Using the area formula A = πr² with π = 3.14 and radius = 4.8, the area of the circle is 72.3456, which we round to 72.35 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a circle with a radius of 4.8 using π = 3.14, you would use the formula A = πr². Plugging in the radius:

​A = 3.14 × (4.8)²

First, calculate the radius squared (4.8 × 4.8) which equals 23.04. Then multiply this result by π (3.14 × 23.04), giving an area of 72.3456 square units.

Since the question asks to round to the nearest hundredth, the final area would be 72.35 square units.
