Area of a circle: \(A = \pi r^2\) \(A = \pi 6^2\) What's 6 * 6?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

36

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes, so A is correct.

OpenStudy (unanimoose):

Well to actually find it in a better way . .. you can find the squarre root of 36.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Also, remember \[A = \frac{ 1 }{ 4 } \pi d^2\] this can also be the area.

OpenStudy (unanimoose):

We know that the radius (r) will be squared, and in this situation it's alreayd been squared so we need to work backwards by finding the square root.

OpenStudy (unanimoose):

In which the square root of 36 is 6, so it would be a circle with a radius of 6.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That was my hint, meaning there is more than one right answer ;)

OpenStudy (igreen):

Now, the radius is half the diameter, so the radius of B is 3.. Plug that in: \(A = \pi r^2\) \(A = \pi 3^2\) What's 3 * 3?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

9

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes, therefore B is incorrect.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Just find the radius's and multiply them by themselves..then see if you get 36.

OpenStudy (igreen):

What's the radius in C?

OpenStudy (igreen):

@Gokuporter

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

144 @iGreen

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes, so that's incorrect..what about D?

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

144 :/

OpenStudy (igreen):

No, the DIAMETER is 12, the radius is half the diameter. @Gokuporter

OpenStudy (gokuporter):

Oh so 36

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, so D is also correct. Your answers are A & D.

Thanks ^-^
