What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 16 yards? Estimate the area to the hundredths place using 3.14 for π .

1 answer

To find the area of a circle, you can use the formula A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle. Since the diameter is given, you can find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2.

Given that the diameter is 16 yards, the radius would be 16 / 2 = 8 yards.

Now, substitute the radius into the formula:

A = π(8)^2
A = π(64)
A ≈ 3.14 * 64
A ≈ 200.96

Hence, the estimated area of the circle with a diameter of 16 yards is approximately 200.96 square yards.
