what is the area of the circle? use 3.14 Or 22/7 for n
|dw:1396365483905:dw|
The equation for the area of a circle is \[\pi r^2\]Can you figure this out?
well not really lol its kind of hard for me @mossyfish
I get confused between two steps that's why
That's okay! You multiply pi by the radius squared. So, let's find out what the radius is. 4, right? What is 4 squared??
4x4? I think if not I am getting it confused with some other math
@mossyfish
Yup! 4*4 is 4^2. Exponents (^number) means that you multiply the number (in this case 4) by itself however many times the exponent is. So, 4*4=?
16
@mossyfish
Yup! So now multiply that by pi
50.26 @mossyfish
I got 50.24... But I'll assume that was a typo or misread or something, good job!!
thanks! @mossyfish
and you where right it was 50.24 because 50.26 was not a choice @mossyfish
You're welcome! Great job solving :)
