The area is:

530.66 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the circle's area, use the formula
\sf{A=\pi r^2}.

where:

A = area;

π = 3.14 (pi);

r = radius

Diagram:


\setlength{\unitlength}{1cm}\begin{picture}(0,0)\thicklines\qbezier(2.3,0)(2.121,2.121)(0,2.3)\qbezier(-2.3,0)(-2.121,2.121)(0,2.3)\qbezier(-2.3,0)(-2.121,-2.121)(0,-2.3)\qbezier(2.3,0)(2.121,-2.121)(-0,-2.3)\put(0,0){\line(1,0){2.3}}\put(0.5,0.3){\bf\large 13\ in}\end{picture}

Plug in the data:


  • \sf{A=3.14*13^2}

  • \sf{A=3.14*169}

  • \sf{A=530.66\:in^2}

Here is the answer with absolutely no rounding. You can round to however many you need. 530.9291585

The equation if you need it: (pi)r^2
