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 calculate the area of a circle, you use the formula:
Area = π * r²
where r is the radius of the circle. The radius is half the diameter, so for a circle with a diameter of 16 yards, the radius is:
r = diameter / 2
r = 16 yards / 2
r = 8 yards
Using 3.14 for π, the area is:
Area = π * r²
Area = 3.14 * (8 yards)²
Area = 3.14 * 64 square yards
Area = 200.96 square yards
So, the estimated area to the hundredths place using 3.14 for π is 200.96 square yards.
