Answer

The approximate area of the circle B is

200.96 square inches = 201 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation

We are asked to find the area of the circle B.

Area of a circle = πr²

where

π = pi = 3.14

r = radius of the circle; the radius of a circle is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on the circle.

For this question, BC represents the distance from the center of this circle (point B) to the point C on this circle. Hence,

Radius of this circle = BC = 8 inches

Area of this circle = πr²

= π × 8²

= 3.14 × 64

= 200.96 square inches.

Hope this Helps!!!
