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.
In this case, the radius \( r \) is 7 cm.
Calculating the area:
\[ \text{Area} = \pi \times (7 , \text{cm})^2 \] \[ \text{Area} = \pi \times 49 , \text{cm}^2 \] \[ \text{Area} \approx 3.14 \times 49 , \text{cm}^2 \] \[ \text{Area} \approx 153.86 , \text{cm}^2 \]
So, the area of the circle is approximately 153.86 cm².
The correct answer is c. 153.86.
