Use pi = 3.14 to estimate the area of the circle with a radius of 9.6 meters. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
A. 30.14 m2
B. 289.38 m2
C. 60.29 m2
D. 1157.53 m2
The formula to calculate the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle. Plugging in the given values, we get:
A = 3.14 x (9.6)^2
A = 3.14 x 92.16
A = 289.3824
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, we get:
A ≈ 289.38 m^2
Therefore, the answer is B) 289.38 m^2.
