Find the area of the given circle with a diameter of 12 feet. Use "3.14" for r. Round to the nearest
• 11.0 ft^2
• 38.5 ft^2
• 42.8 ft^2
• 113.0 ft^2
Using the formula for the area of a circle A = πr^2, we first need to find the radius using the diameter.
Radius = Diameter / 2
Radius = 12 ft / 2
Radius = 6 ft
Now, plug in the radius into the formula:
A = 3.14 * (6 ft)^2
A = 3.14 * 36 ft^2
A = 113.04 ft^2
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the area of the circle is approximately 113 ft^2.
Therefore, the correct answer from the options provided is:
• 113.0 ft^2
