Answer:
A = 26 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of a circle, use the formula A = πr²
We know π = 3.14 and C = 18.
Use the circumference to find "r". C = 2πr
C = 2πr
18 = 2(3.14)r
18 = 6.28r
r = 18/6.28 Exact answer
r ≈ 2.866 Rounded to three decimal places
You can use either of the two bolded "r" values. I will use the rounded answer in the formula for area.
Substitute π = 3.14 and r = 2.866.
A = πr²
A = (3.14)(2.866)² Solve exponents first
A = 3.14(8.213956) Multiply
A = 25.7918218... Unrounded answer
A ≈ 26 Rounded to nearest square foot
Add the units back in.
<h3>A = 26 ft²</h3>
