Answer: A= 460 mm2

Explanation:

Hi, since the circumference formula is :

C = 2 π r

Where r is the radius, we can solve the formula for the radius replacing with the value given:

76 =2 π r

76 / (2 π) = r

r = 12.1 mm

Now , we have to apply the formula for the area of a circle.

A = π r^2

A = π (12.1)^2

A= 459.96 mm2= 460 mm2 (rounded to the nearest tenth, since .9 is higher than .5)

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
