Jon and Becky measured the circle-shaped part of a sun they drew on the sidewalk. The diameter of the circle is 56 centimeters. What is the approximate area of the circle? (Use 3.14 for .) A. 2,461.76 cm2 B. 175.84 cm2 C. 615.44 cm2 D. 9,847.04 cm2 Plz help. Im havin trouble with circumfrence.

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

if the diameter is 56 cm radius is half of it , which is 28 cm

OpenStudy (cakt07):

wait what? But its asking for the WHOLE area of the circle.

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

\[A = \pi \ r^{2}\]

OpenStudy (cakt07):

ohhh

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

now r= radius

OpenStudy (cakt07):

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

\[r^{2} = 28 ^{2} = 28 \times 28 = 784\]

OpenStudy (cakt07):

radius X 2 is 56 and 56 X 3.14 is 175.84

OpenStudy (cakt07):

wait? Ohhh wait. 28 squared is 28 X 28?

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

now multiply 784 by the value of phi ( 3. 14)

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

yes

OpenStudy (cakt07):

ok.

OpenStudy (***[isuru]***):

wt will u get ?

OpenStudy (cakt07):

Ohhh...
