Answer:

783.8696

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to find the area of a circle is to find the radius, multiply it by itself, then multiply by pi. The diameter is double the radius so we have to divide the diameter by 2 to find the radius. 31.6/2 is equal to 15.8, and if we plug it into our formula, we can find that the area is 15.8 * 15.8 * pi, and since we use 3.14 for pi, the area is 15.8 * 15.8 * 3.14. We can use a calculator for this part and find that the area of this circle is 783.8696.

Area of a circle is PI x r^2

You are given the diameter, the radius is half the diameter:

Area - PI x 1/2(diameter)^2

Area = 3.14 x 1/2(31.6)^2

Area = 3.14 x 15.8^2

Area = 3.14 x 249.64

Area = 783.8696 sq. cm. ( Round answer as needed)

answer is C. 252 ft^2

split the figure into two pieces and first figure out the rectangle (shown in turquoise).

If you multiply the width and length (18*6) you should get 108.

Then figure out the trapezoid (in magenta). the formula is (a+b)/2*h where a and b are the bases and h is the height. the bases are given, 6 and 18. to find the height, subtract the entire figure's height by 6, which is 18-6 and gives us 12. so the formula converted to this problem is (6+18)/2*12. simplify parenthesis and get 24/2*12. 24/2=12, so multiply 12*12. The area of the trapezoid is 144. Add the areas of both figures together and get 252.
