Given:
Note that:
To find:
- The area of the given circle to the nearest whole number.
Solution:

In this question raduis is given so we'll simply have to solve.
Let's solve!
The area of a circle is π times the radius squared.
Substitute the values according to the formula.


Now, we can round off to the nearest whole number.
The value in tenths place is less than 5 so we won't have to round up.
Final answer:

Hence, the area of the circle given in the question is 314 square inches to the nearest whole number.
