Answer:

The answer would be 201.06

Explanation:1. You need to have the radius and not the diameter so you would divide 16 by 2 to get 8.
2. You would plug 8 into the formula A=π
r^(2), meaning it would be A=π
8^(2)
3. 8 Squared is equal to 64 so the formula would now be A=π64
4. 64 x π = 201.06 giving you your final answer.
I hope that helps!

Answer:

200.96 mi²

Explanation:

Before, finding the area of the circle, first, let us find the radius.

Given that,

diameter ( d ) ⇒ 16 mi

Let us use the below formula to find the radius of the circle.

d = 2r

16 = 2r

Divide both sides by 2.

8 mi = r

And let us find the area of the circle using the below formula.

A = π r²

A = π × 8 × 8

A = 3.14 × 64

A = 200.96 mi²
