Question

A football team gave away buttons for an upcoming game. The

diameter of each circular button was 7 centimeters (cm). Which
measurement is closest to the area of each button?

Answer 1

38 cm²

Explanation:

To find the area of a circle, we can use the formula A = πr², where A is the area, r is the radius of the circle, and π is approximately equal to 3.14.

Since the diameter of each button is 7 cm, the radius of each button is half the diameter, or 7/2 = 3.5 cm. We can plug this value into the formula to find the area of each button:

A = πr² = π * 3.5^2 = 3.14 * 12.25 = 38.1 cm²

The closest measurement to 38.1 cm² is 38 cm². Therefore, the area of each button is closest to 38 cm².
