Answer 1

The area \( A \) of a circle can be calculated using the formula:

\[
A = \pi r^2
\]

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

Given that the radius \( r \) is 8 inches and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[
A = 3.14 \times (8)^2
\]
\[
A = 3.14 \times 64
\]
\[
A = 200.96 \text{ inches squared}
\]

So the area of the circle is **200.96 inches squared**.
