Question

6 in
Shape: Circle
Find the area of the circle.
Area of a circle: 3.14 x r²
A = [?] in²
Round to the nearest hundredth.
Think of an answer that is 100% correct.

Answer 1

To find the area of the circle with a radius of 6 inches, you can use the formula for the area of a circle:

\[
A = \pi r^2
\]

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

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

First, calculate \(6^2\):

\[
6^2 = 36
\]

Now, substitute \(36\) back into the formula:

\[
A = 3.14 \times 36
\]

Now perform the multiplication:

\[
A = 113.04
\]

Thus, the area of the circle is:

\[
A = 113.04 \text{ in}^2
\]

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the area remains:

\[
\boxed{113.04 \text{ in}^2}
\]
