Question

The radius of a circle is 6 centimeters. What is the circle's area?
Use ​𝜋 ≈ 3.14 and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
square centimeters

Answer 1

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

\[
A = \pi r^2
\]

where \( A \) is the area and \( r \) is the radius of the circle.

Given that the radius \( r = 6 \) centimeters and using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \), we can calculate the area as follows:

\[
A = 3.14 \times (6)^2
\]

First, calculate \( (6)^2 \):

\[
(6)^2 = 36
\]

Now substitute this value back into the area formula:

\[
A = 3.14 \times 36
\]

Now perform the multiplication:

\[
A = 113.04
\]

Thus, the area of the circle is approximately **113.04 square centimeters**, rounded to the nearest hundredth.
