Answer 1

To calculate the area of a circle, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Area} = \pi r^2
\]

where \( r \) is the radius of the circle.

Given that the radius is 8 inches, you can plug that value into the formula:

\[
\text{Area} = \pi (8)^2
\]
\[
\text{Area} = \pi \times 64
\]
\[
\text{Area} \approx 3.14 \times 64 \approx 200.96
\]

Therefore, the area of the circle is approximately **200.96 square inches**.
