To find the area of a circle, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Area} = \pi r^2 \]
where \( r \) is the radius of the circle.
Given:
- Radius (\( r \)) = 8 cm
- \( \pi \) (pi) = 3.14
Now, plug the values into the formula:
\[ \text{Area} = 3.14 \times (8)^2 \]
Calculating \( (8)^2 \):
\[ (8)^2 = 64 \]
Now substitute back into the area formula:
\[ \text{Area} = 3.14 \times 64 \]
Now multiply:
\[ 3.14 \times 64 = 200.96 , \text{cm}^2 \]
So, the area of the circle is:
\[ \boxed{200.96 , \text{cm}^2} \]
Thus, the correct answer is C. 200.96 cm².
