MEDAL!!! 8. What is the area of the given circle in terms of pi? A.92.16pi m^2 B.72.38pi m^2 C.46.08pi m^2 D. 23.04pi m^2 This is how far I got a=3.14(9.6^2)

9.6 is the diameter cut that in half to get 9.6/2 = 4.8, which is the radius

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

leave pi as it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes @jim_thompson5910 Then u would have 3.14(4.8^2)

OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):

Ok so it would be a=3.14(4.8^2)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

replace 3.14 with pi

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

all the answers have pi in them

OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):

B is the answer!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910 Then u get a big decimal...rather use 3.14

OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):

Thank you both!!! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Any time@jessiegonzales glad u asked

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

jessiegonzales you don't multiply 23.04 by 3.14

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

notice how every answer has pi in it

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if they didn't have pi in it, then the approximate answer would be 72.3456

OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):

yes?

OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):

ok now i get it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910 yes but if they were exact on the answer id recommend using pie

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what's the answer jessiegonzales?
