How can i find the area of a 14inch circle? Thank You so much!
Is 14 inches the diameter?
Yes. We are a little confused with an algebra example that we have found. What is your formula Ms.Sue?
Area = pi * radius squared
The radius is half the diameter.
A = 3.14 * 7^2
A = 3.14 * 49
thank you
You're welcome.
To find the area of a circle, you can use the formula A = πr², where A represents the area and r represents the radius of the circle.
In this case, you mentioned that the circle has a diameter of 14 inches. The radius of a circle is equal to half of its diameter. So, to find the radius, you need to divide the diameter by 2.
Let's do the calculation together:
1. Divide the diameter (14 inches) by 2 to find the radius: 14 / 2 = 7 inches.
2. Square the radius: 7² = 49 square inches.
3. Multiply the squared radius by π (pi). You can either use π as 3.14 or use more precise values like 3.14159. Let's use the rounded value of 3.14 for simplicity: 49 × 3.14 = 153.86 square inches.
Therefore, the area of the 14-inch circle is approximately 153.86 square inches.
