A=3.14*5.5^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
π D = 11
D=11/π
D = 3.501408
D/2 = r
r = 1.7507
π r^2 = 9.63
OpenStudy (pinksapphire):
95.033
OpenStudy (anonymous):
But why would it not be 95.03
OpenStudy (pinksapphire):
Yes it would be 95.03...Sorry about that :(

So it is 95.03 not 9.63
OpenStudy (pinksapphire):
Yes.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no she made a mistake, to find the diameter you need to multiply π by D to get diameter instead she multiplied D * 2 to find diameter which is whrong\
OpenStudy (pinksapphire):
This is the formula to find the area of a circle:
\[A =πr^2\]
OpenStudy (pinksapphire):
5.5 is the radius.

nope
the radius is half the diameter
And the diameter is Circumference divided by π
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I'm confused
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh wait
sorry I was reading two problems at the same time, PinkSohire is actually right
OpenStudy (pinksapphire):
I know that...the diameter is 11 so to get the radius, you have to divide by 2.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah sorry I thought it said circumfernce
