Remember the formula for the area of a circle? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the radius

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the radius is 14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A=πr^2 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i do not know where to go from there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i multiply 14 by 3.14??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So we know that they want pi=3.14 And the radius is 14. So multiply 3.14 x 14^2 (14 x 14) and see what you get :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 43.96

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good now thats your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that it, because if so, then I would need to round to the nearest hundredths

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. Yep :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So round your answer to the nearest hundredths and then you're done!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that would be 44

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Acutally, your answer should be 615.44 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*Actually

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did you do (3.14)196?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where r u getting 196 from??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

even if it was 615.44, I would have to round to the nearest hundredths, so u would be wrong (unless it is already rounded, is it??)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14 x 14 :P 14^2 is 14(14) which equals 196.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's already rounded to the nearest hundredths :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're welcome. Does that make sense? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, i have a ? though, why would I multiply 14 by 14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because it is 14^2 (14 squared) which means you multiply 14 by itself. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, thx (again)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're welcome!! :)
