Answer 1

Answer:

Option D is correct

$\pi r^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle is given by:

$A = \pi r^2$

where,

A is the area of the circle

r is the radius of the circle

As per the statement:

The wrestling team needs to calculate the area of a round wrestling mat

Since, wrestling mat is in the shape of the circle.

Using the area of circle formula we have;

$\text{Area of a round wrestling mat} = \pi r^2$

Therefore, the formula should they use is, $\pi r^2$

Answer 2

Answer: D

Explanation: To find the area of a square you square the radius and multiply it by pi or 3.14
