The formula to find the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle.
Since the diameter of the circle is 16 ft, the radius is half of the diameter, which is 8 ft.
Plugging in the values, we get:
A = π(8)^2
A = π(64)
A = 64π
To find the approximate value of the area, we can use the approximation of π as 3.14.
A ≈ 64 x 3.14
A ≈ 200.96
Therefore, the area of the circle is approximately 201 square feet.
The diameter of a circle is 16 ft. Find its area to the nearest whole number.
