Question

What is the area of the circle if XY = 17 in.?

Answer 1

XY is 17 inches. What is the radius of this circle?

What is the formula for the area of a circle?

What is the area of this particular circle, now that you have the radius?

Answer 2

formula: πr2

Answer 3

Yes. That's the correct formula for finding the area of a circle. Mind answering my other questions?

Answer 4

how do i find the area

Answer 5

Do you know what radius is?

Answer 6

do i multiply 3.14 x 17 ?

Answer 7

no. 17 is diameter. we need radius. do you know how to find radius from given diameter?

Answer 8

is the radius 8.5

Answer 9

yeah. now you do \(\pi (8.5)^2\)

Answer 10

π is 3.14

Answer 11

26.69

Answer 12

\(\pi (8.5)^2 \rightarrow \pi(8.5)(8.5)\)

Answer 13

226.865

Answer 14

yeah

Answer 15

this are my answer choices :

A.) 17π in2
B.) 36.75π in2
C.) 72.25π in2
D.) 8.5π in2

Answer 16

@geerky42 ???

Answer 17

I've tried calculating the area and get the same result as you. Are you positive that you have copied down both the problem and the possible answer choices correctly? I recommend you not spend much more time on this problem...instead, please move on to other problems.
