Please help with math.

Area of a circle: \(\large r^2\pi\) r= radius
You are given the diameter (8cm). Diameter is two times the radius.
So it would be 8cm * 2*radius? Now what is radius though??? @StudyGurl14 @mastermindkakashi
Not quite. \(\large Diameter=2r\rightarrow 8cm=2r\rightarrow r= 4cm\) So the radius is 4cm. Plus that into \(\large r^2\pi\)
so 8cm times 4cm??
radius is half the diameter, so half of 8 is 4. then to solve for the area, the formula is (3.14 x 4 squared)
So what all do I multiply together is what i don't get.
yes the x means multiply
I know :)
so i multiply 3.14 and 4?
r = 4 If the formula is \(\large r^2\pi\), then... \(\large\rightarrow (4)^2\pi\) Remember that \(\large\pi= 3.14\)
@KoolCid1 don't forget the exponent
ah well then yes you multiply 3.14 and 16 since you have to square 4 (which is 4 x 4)
\(\large (4)^2\pi=(4)(4)(3.14)\)
