What is the approximate area of the circle that fits perfectly inside of the square? Use Pi = 3.14 and round to the nearest tenth.


cm2

Answer 1

Answer:19.6

Explanation:

Answer 2

19.6 cm²

Explanation:

If a circle fits perfectly inside of a square, then its diameter is equal to the length of sides of the square.

The area of a circle is given by:

`A= \pi (d^2)/(4)`

In this problem, d = 5 cm, the area of the circle is:

`A= 3.14 *(5^2)/(4) \\A=19.6\ cm^2`

The approximate area of the circle is 19.6 cm².
