If a circle has a diameter of 16 feet, which expression gives its area in square
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The options are unclear but the answer is 8^2π square feet or 64π sqfeet

Explanation:

Area of a circle is denoted by: πr^2 where r is the radius of the circle.

In this question, the diameter was given. The diameter of a circle is twice the radius. Therefore, in order to get the radius, we divide the diameter by 2 i.e. r = d/2

= 16/2 = 8 feet.

Thus, the radius = 8 feet.

Hence, Area of a circle = πr^2

= π × 8^2

= 64π or 8^2π sqfeet.

The characteristics viruses display
Vikentia [17]

Nonliving characteristics include the fact that they are not cells, have no cytoplasm or cellular organelles, and carry out no metabolism on their own and therefore must replicate using the host cell's metabolic machinery. Viruses can infect animals, plants, and even other microorganisms.
