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.

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

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 = \(\large \pi 2.05^2\)

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 = \(\large 4.2025 \pi \)

oohhhh i see
OpenStudy (rational):
you need to relax a bit and get back to math hw :o
