Answer 1

Answer:

460 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation(s):

According to this word problem, the circumference of the circle is 76 centimeters.

Now, we know that the formulas for finding circumference is:

$c=\pi d(diameter)/2\pi r(radius)$

Solve:

I will use the first formula.

To find the diameter of a circle when given only the circumference, divide the circumference by pi (3.14). The quotient is the diameter of the circle.

$76/3.14=24.2038216561$

24.2038216561 is the diameter.

However, to find the area of the circle, we must have the radius.

The formula for finding the area of a circle is:

$a=\pi r^2$

Remember, to find the radius of a circle, divide the diameter by 2.

$24.2038216561/2=12.1019108281.$

Now, that we have the radius, we can find the area of the circle.

$3.14*12.1019108281*12.1019108281=459.872611471.$

Lastly, round the product, 459.872611471, to the nearest whole number.

$459.872611471$ ≈ $460$

Conclude:

I, therefore, believe the area of the circle is 460 cm.
