Question

The radius of a circle is 12 feet. What is the circle's area?
r=12 ft
Use ​𝜋 ≈ 3.14 and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
square feet

Answer 1

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

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

Given that the radius \( r = 12 \) feet and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \), we can substitute the values into the formula:

\[
\text{Area} = 3.14 \times (12)^2
\]

Calculating \( (12)^2 \):

\[
(12)^2 = 144
\]

Now substitute this back into the formula:

\[
\text{Area} = 3.14 \times 144
\]

Now perform the multiplication:

\[
\text{Area} = 452.16
\]

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the area of the circle is:

\[
\text{Area} \approx 452.16 \text{ square feet}
\]
