Circumference = 2*pi*radius
C = 2*pi*r
64pi = 2*pi*r
solve for r to get the radius
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
once you have the radius, you can use it to find the area using the formula
A = pi*r^2

How do I find the radius?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what do you get when you solve 64pi = 2*pi*r for r?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
64/3.14=20.382/2=10.1910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
64pi = 2*pi*r
2*pi*r = 64pi
r = 64pi/(2*pi)
r = 64/2
r = 32

I thought it was divided by pi? Ok let me plug that into the other equatin you gave me
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
64pi divided by 2pi = 32
because the two "pi" terms cancel and you're left with 64/2 = 32

I keep getting 200.96 but thats not right
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
A = pi*r^2
A = 3.14*32^2
A = 3215.36

Thats not one of the answers given.
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what are your answer choices?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got 1023.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I did
A = 3.14 x (r x r)
A = 3.14 x 326.045
A = 1023
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
how did you get 326.045 ?

btw, what are your answer choices?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1. 128pi in^2
2. 256 pi in^2
3. 1024 pi in^2
4. 16 pi in^2
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
oh you just leave the pi alone
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
A = pi*r^2
A = pi*(32)^2
A = pi*(1024)
A = 1024pi
