Find the area of a circle with diameter of 14 inches. Use the value 3.14 for pie, and do not round your answer. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Answer 1

Hello Jade,

As I am sure you are aware, the diameter is always two times the radius. This is important because to determine the area of a circle, you want to know the radius. Therefore, the radius of the circle in your problem is seven inches.

The formula determining the area of a circle is as follows:

A = π r² where A equals area, π is equal to 3.14, and r is the radius. Therefore,

A = π r²

A = 3.14(7)²

A = 3.14(49)

A = 153.86 squared inches

I hope this helps and that you have a great ending to your week.
