Question

The radius of a circle is 14 feet. What is the circle's area?
r=14 ft
Use ​𝜋 ≈ 3.14 and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
square feet

Answer 1

To find the area \( A \) of a circle, you can use the formula:

\[
A = \pi r^2
\]

Given that the radius \( r = 14 \) feet and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \), we can calculate the area as follows:

\[
A = 3.14 \times (14)^2
\]

First, calculate \( (14)^2 \):

\[
(14)^2 = 196
\]

Now, substitute this back into the area formula:

\[
A = 3.14 \times 196
\]

Now, perform the multiplication:

\[
A = 615.44
\]

Finally, rounding to the nearest hundredth, the area of the circle is:

\[
\boxed{615.44} \text{ square feet}
\]
