A circle has a diameter of 12 feet. Which measurement is closest to the area of the circle?
A circle has a diameter of 12 feet. Which measurement is closest to the area of the circle?
452.16 ft2
118.64 ft2
37.68 ft2
113.04 ft2
The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle. In this case, the diameter is given as 12 feet, so the radius is half of that, which is 12/2 = 6 feet.
Using the formula, we have:
A = π(6)^2 ≈ 3.14(36) ≈ 113.04 ft^2
Therefore, the measurement that is closest to the area of the circle is 113.04 ft^2.
