What is the area of a circle with a radius of 12 feet? Estimate the area to the hundredths place using 3.14 for π.

1. 452.2 square feet
2. 113.04 square feet
3. 452.16 square feet
4. 75.4 square feet

1 answer

The formula to calculate the area of a circle is A = πr², where A is the area and r is the radius.

Using the given radius of 12 feet and the approximation of π as 3.14, we can calculate the area as follows:

A = 3.14 * (12²)
A = 3.14 * 144
A ≈ 452.16 square feet

Therefore, the estimated area of the circle to the hundredths place is 452.16 square feet.

The correct answer is 3. 452.16 square feet.
