find the area of the circle using pi.

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

OpenStudy (rational):

Area = \(\large \pi r^2\)

OpenStudy (austinl):

\(\large{A_{circle}=\pi\times r^2}\)

OpenStudy (rational):

\(r\) = radius of circle

OpenStudy (austinl):

Note: you have diameter in the picture.

OpenStudy (rational):

take a good look at the given diagram, does it look like radius or diameter ?

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

\[A=3.14*4.1^2\]

OpenStudy (rational):

4.1 is diameter right ?

OpenStudy (austinl):

It says to leave it in terms of \(\pi\) That means no decimal approximations young lady! :D

OpenStudy (rational):

you need to take half of it to get radius r = d/2

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

d.1 is the half line thingy

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

4.1

OpenStudy (rational):

i think, 4.1 is the full line thingy

OpenStudy (austinl):

It is indeed.

OpenStudy (austinl):

d=4.1

OpenStudy (rational):

cuz, 4.1 is sitting exactly over the line at center, so we need to interpret it as diameter

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

52.7834 is what i got

OpenStudy (austinl):

Like I said earlier, you need to leave it in terms of pi.

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

but how do i put that into a calculator

OpenStudy (rational):

Alright ! A = \(\large \pi r\)^2 A = \(\large \pi (\frac{4.1}{2})\)^2 A = \(\large \pi 2.05^2\)

OpenStudy (austinl):

You only mess with the numbers, and then you essentially tag the pi on the end! :)

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

how do i get the answer then bc 2.05pi^2 is not a choice

OpenStudy (austinl):

No, \(2.05^2 \pi\)

OpenStudy (austinl):

\(2.05^2=~?\)

OpenStudy (rational):

Alright ! A = \(\large \pi r\)^2 A = \(\large \pi (\frac{4.1}{2})\)^2 A = \(\large \pi 2.05^2\) A = \(\large 4.2025 \pi \)

OpenStudy (highschoolmom2010):

oohhhh i see

OpenStudy (rational):

you need to relax a bit and get back to math hw :o
