Question

Find the area of the wrestling mat.

Answer 1

803.84 OR 256 pi

Explanation:

Ok!

Step 1:

The area of a circle is Pir^2. (Sorry it’s pi r squared, I don’t have the pi symbol or the exponent function on my iPad.)

R is radius. Remember, radius is half the diameter.

32/2=16.

Step 2:

Do 16^2.

You should get 256.

Step 3:

Multiply 256 by Pi. Pi is 3.14. You should get 803.84.

Step 4:

803.84 should be the answer, I THINK (not sure) you can also write your answer as 256 pi. Depends on what your teacher wants. Hope this helps! Next time you can search up how to find the area of a circle, there are lots are tutorials!

Answer 2

804.25

Explanation:

The area of a circle = pi(r)^2

Given the diameter, we can find the radius by dividing the diameter in half.

r=16

pi(16)^2 = 804.25
