Question

1

A circular plate has a diameter of 14 inches. Which measurement is closest to the area of the
plate in square inches?

Answer 1

153.93 is what I got

Explanation:

Answer 2

154 inches squared.

Explanation:

Formula for area of a circle:
`\pi`
`r^2`.

The radius of a circle is half it's diameter, so the radius of the circular plate would be 14/2 inches.

Substituting the values into the formula (using 3.14 for
`\pi \\`) we get:
`3.14(7^2)`.

This is equal to 153.86, and rounded to the nearest whole number the answer is 154.
