The radius is half of the diameter. Double the radius. Then multiply that by 3.14.
OpenStudy (logan13):
idk
OpenStudy (logan13):
what is half the radius
OpenStudy (inowalst):
It says the radius is 5. Double 5. What do you get?

5^2 * pi =...?
OpenStudy (inowalst):
If you double 5.. Double means 2. Multiply 5 times 2. What do you get?
OpenStudy (logan13):
10
OpenStudy (inowalst):
Good. Now multiply that times 3.14.

\[5^{2} \times \]
OpenStudy (inowalst):
No. 5 to the second power is 5 times 5 which is 25. We need to find, 5 times 2.

78.5

@logan13 Did you multiply 10 times 3.14? The answer is not 78.5.
OpenStudy (logan13):
yes it is
OpenStudy (inowalst):
10 times 3.14 is not 78.5. Think of the 10 as a 1, without the zero. Your answer is 3.14, but you have to move the decimal one place to the left. Your answer is 31.4.
