Question

6 in
Shape: Circle
Find the area of the circle and ROUND TO THE NEAREST HUNDRETH!
Area of a circle: 3.14 x r²
A = [?] in²

Answer 1

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

\[
A = \pi r^2
\]

where \( r \) is the radius. In this case, you have the diameter of the circle as 6 inches. To find the radius, you can divide the diameter by 2:

\[
r = \frac{6}{2} = 3 \text{ inches}
\]

Now, plug the radius into the area formula using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[
A = 3.14 \times (3)^2
\]
\[
A = 3.14 \times 9
\]
\[
A = 28.26 \text{ in}^2
\]

So, the area of the circle, rounded to the nearest hundredth, is:

\[
\boxed{28.26} \text{ in}^2
\]
