so im guessing 3.14 x 7?

Mehek (mehek14):

\(\dfrac{πr^2}{2}\)

Mehek (mehek14):

so \(\dfrac{3.14*7^2}{2}\)

Mehek (mehek14):

what is \(7^2\)

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

153.86?

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

oh 7^2 49

Mehek (mehek14):

\(\dfrac{153.86}{2}\)

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

76.93

Mehek (mehek14):
