@mastermindkakashi @StudyGurl14

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Area of a circle: \(\large r^2\pi\) r= radius

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

You are given the diameter (8cm). Diameter is two times the radius.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be 8cm * 2*radius? Now what is radius though??? @StudyGurl14 @mastermindkakashi

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Not quite. \(\large Diameter=2r\rightarrow 8cm=2r\rightarrow r= 4cm\) So the radius is 4cm. Plus that into \(\large r^2\pi\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 8cm times 4cm??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what all do I multiply together is what i don't get.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes the x means multiply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i multiply 3.14 and 4?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

r = 4 If the formula is \(\large r^2\pi\), then... \(\large\rightarrow (4)^2\pi\) Remember that \(\large\pi= 3.14\)

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

@KoolCid1 don't forget the exponent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah well then yes you multiply 3.14 and 16 since you have to square 4 (which is 4 x 4)

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

\(\large (4)^2\pi=(4)(4)(3.14)\)
