myininaya (myininaya):

can you tell me the formula for the area of circle?

OpenStudy (oblivion20):

Pi * Radius

myininaya (myininaya):

close

myininaya (myininaya):

pi*Radius^2

myininaya (myininaya):

your diameter length is given by 22 in

myininaya (myininaya):

we know we can find the length of radius by dividing the diameter in half

myininaya (myininaya):

so your radius length equals?

OpenStudy (oblivion20):

so the radius is 11

myininaya (myininaya):

yeah

myininaya (myininaya):

so evaluate 3.14*(11)^2

myininaya (myininaya):

I replaced pi with 3.14 since it told us to use that approximation

OpenStudy (oblivion20):

hold on

OpenStudy (oblivion20):

17.27?

OpenStudy (oblivion20):

right @myininaya

myininaya (myininaya):

hmm how did you input that into the calculator ?

OpenStudy (oblivion20):

just like you told me

myininaya (myininaya):

I don't think you did

OpenStudy (oblivion20):

wait I hit the wrong number, is it 379.94? @myininaya

myininaya (myininaya):

That sounds better.

OpenStudy (oblivion20):

sorry I hit the wrong numer

OpenStudy (oblivion20):

*number

myininaya (myininaya):

it's cool
