Using a compass Jane draws a circle on her paper with a riddles of 2.5 in what is the area of the circle a 15.7 inch ² b19.6 * 25 inch ² c 24.649 inch ² or d 61.6225 inch ²

c 24.649 inch²

To find the area of a circle, you use the formula A = πr², where r is the radius of the circle.

Given the radius is 2.5 inches, we can plug it into the formula:

A = π(2.5)²
A = π(6.25)
A = 24.649 inch²

Therefore, the area of the circle is 24.649 inch².
