What is the best approximation for the area of a circle with a diameter of 13 meters?

Use 3.14 to approximate pi.
0 40.8 m2
O 81.6 m2
132.7 m
0 530.7 m2​

For this case we have that by definition, the area of a circle is given by:


A = \pi * r ^ 2

Where:

r: It is the radius of the circle

According to the statement we have:


r = \frac {13} {2} = 6.5 \ m

Substituting:


A = \pi * (6.5) ^ 2\\A = 3.14 * 42.25\\A = 132.665

We round, and we have that the area of the circle is approximately:


A = 132.7 \ m ^ 2

Answer:

Option C
