area of a circle= pi * r^2
but in this case we have diameter instead of radius
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yea im right

we can find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2
r= 16/2 = 8
A= 3.14 * 8^2
A= 3.14 * 64
A= 200. 96

@LegendarySadist what do u say?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
look first you have to find the formula right
OpenStudy (godlovesme):
the formula is
area = pi * r^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It just depends on how they want you to write it/what to use for pi. You could write the answer as \(64\pi\), \(200.96\), or \(201.06\) depending on what you use for pi.
