Question

Mrs. Parker rolls dough to make an 8-inch diameter pie.

What area does the dough cover? Round to the nearest hundredth. (Use 3.14 for pi.)

 

?

Answer 1

The area of a circle (at least I think that is what the question means) is π * the radius squared.

 

In this question the radius is 4" (half the diameter) * 3.14 = 12.56
