To calculate the area of a circle, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Area} = \pi r^2 \]
where \( r \) is the radius of the circle.
Given that the radius is 8 inches, you can plug that value into the formula:
\[ \text{Area} = \pi (8)^2 \] \[ \text{Area} = \pi \times 64 \] \[ \text{Area} \approx 3.14 \times 64 \approx 200.96 \]
Therefore, the area of the circle is approximately 200.96 square inches.
