Question

Equation for the area of a circle with a diameter of 31.6 cm. Use 3.14 for

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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)
