calculating the area of a circle using 3.14 as the value for pi

1 answer

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

Area=πr2

where r is the radius of the circle and π is approximately 3.14.

If you have the radius, you can substitute it into the formula. For example, if the radius r is 5 units, the calculation would be:

Area=3.14×(52)=3.14×25=78.5

So the area of a circle with a radius of 5 units would be 78.5 square units. You can use this method with any radius by substituting the value of r into the formula.
