___? square miles

3 answers

The area of a circle is calculated using the formula A = πr^2, where A is the area and r is the radius.

In this case, the radius is given as 2.1 miles.

Substituting the values into the formula:

A = 3.14 * (2.1)^2

Calculating:

A ≈ 3.14 * 4.41

A ≈ 13.8174

Rounding to the hundredths place:

A ≈ 13.82 square miles

So, the estimated area of the circle is 13.82 square miles.

Apologies for the mistake.

The correct calculation should be:

A = πr^2

A = 3.14 * (2.1)^2

A = 3.14 * 4.41

A ≈ 13.82234

Rounding to the hundredths place:

A ≈ 13.82 square miles

So, the estimated area of the circle is 13.82 square miles.
