Estimate the area of the circle, use 22/7 for π

OpenStudy (themathasker):

OpenStudy (sachintha):

Use the equation \[2\pi r^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Area of a circle is \[\large A=\pi \times r^{2}\] Right now we have the diameter, which is 28. To get the radius, we have to divide the diameter by 2. So \[\large \frac{28}{2}=r\] Once you get the r tell me and we'll plug it into the area of a circle formula :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Sachintha it looks like you combined the circumference formula and area formula together.

OpenStudy (sachintha):

Sorry my mistake.. :D

OpenStudy (themathasker):

So 28 / 2 = 14

OpenStudy (sachintha):

@TheMathAsker Give it a try as @LegendarySadist said.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right. And since we're using 22/7 for pi, it would look like this \[\large A=\frac{22}{7} \times 14^{2}\] The next step is to find 14^2

OpenStudy (themathasker):

Its 196?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep that would be it, good job :). So now we are gonna multiply 196 by 22/7. Which will look like this \[\large A=\frac{22*196}{7}\] So our next step is to find 196*22

OpenStudy (themathasker):

That would be 4,312

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right, good job. Now we have to divide 4312 by 7. Which will look like this \[\large A=\frac{4312}{7}\] This is gonna be our final step :)

OpenStudy (themathasker):

616?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, that would be our answer, so \[\large A=616\] or more specifically \[\large A=616cm^{2}\]

OpenStudy (themathasker):

Thank you so much !!!!!! c:
