A circle is shown with center at point P.
The radius of circle P is 8 cm. Area equals pi R squared, where R is the radius of the circle.
Question
What is the approximate area of the circle? (Use 3.14 for pi.)
The approximate area of the circle can be calculated using the formula A = πr^2, where A is the area and r is the radius.
Given that the radius of circle P is 8 cm, we can substitute this value into the formula:
A = 3.14 * (8 cm)^2
Simplifying the expression:
A = 3.14 * 64 cm^2
A ≈ 200.96 cm^2
Therefore, the approximate area of the circle is 200.96 cm^2.
