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.
Now, substituting the radius into the formula:
\[ \text{Area} = \pi (7 , \text{cm})^2 \] \[ \text{Area} = \pi \times 49 , \text{cm}^2 \] \[ \text{Area} \approx 3.14 \times 49 , \text{cm}^2 \approx 153.86 , \text{cm}^2 \]
Thus, the area of the circle is approximately \( 153.86 , \text{cm}^2 \). If you use a more precise value for \(\pi\) (like \(3.14159\)), you'll get a more accurate area.
