Micah has a new remotely controlled car that has a circular range with a radius of 30 feet. What is the area of the circular range?

A = pi * r^2

I'll be glad to check your answer.

"I'll be glad to check your answer." What do you mean about that?

What does the r^2 stand for?

"You have to figure it out then she says if your right or not. She can't just give you the answer." Oh okay i understand

r^2 is radius squared

So do i multiply 30 by 2?

No.

The radius is half of the diameter. So this radius is 15.

15^2 = 15 * 15

A = 3.14 * 15^2

A = ?

oh so i do half of 15 then multiply 3.14

Nope. Read what I posted again -- and again if necessary.

oh ok
