Answer:

200.96

or

201 (if you round it up)

Explanation:

1) Well, if we know that the diameter (D) is 16 cm, then we know that the radius (r) is 8 cm (D = 2 * r).

2) Next, we square (^2) the radius, and we get 64 (r^2 = r * r = 8*8 = 64)

3) Finally, we multiply π by 64, and we get 200.96 cm^2 (3.14 * 64) which is very close to 201 cm^2.
