Answer:
The area of the circle is 78.5cm^2
Explanation:
We will first extract the key information from the question asked:-
*** Find the area of the circle
*** The radius of the circle is 5cm
*** "π" should be taken as 3.14
***measurement must be in centimeters.
Firstly we need to understand what is meant by the area of a shape. The area of a shape is (circle, triangle, triangle , square etc) is basically the quantity of space that is situated or located inside the given shape. It can also mean the amount of space that is shut in and within the boundary of the shape.
The formula for finding this quantity of space that is within a circle (The area of a circle) is π × r^2.
We have already been given π as 3.14, the radius is 5cm, we will simply draft all these into the formula and solve to determine the area of this circle in question.
π×r^2 = 3.14 × 5 × 5
= 78.5cm^2
Therefore the area of the circle is 78.5cm^2
