Question
What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 16 yards? Estimate the area to the hundredths place using 3.14 for π

square yards
To find the area of a circle, we use the formula A = πr^2, where A is the area and r is the radius of the circle.
First, let's find the radius. The diameter is given as 16 yards, so the radius is half of that, which is 8 yards.
Now, we can plug the radius into the formula and calculate the area.
A = 3.14 * (8)^2
= 3.14 * 64
= 200.96
Rounding to the hundredths place, the area of the circle is approximately 200.96 square yards.
