The image below is a triangle drawn inside a circle with center O:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which of the following expressions shows the area, in square inches, of the circle? (π = 3.14) 3 ⋅ 3.14 ⋅ 22 3.14 ⋅ 32 3.14 ⋅ 22 3.14 ⋅ 3

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Well we know the diameter.

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

And we need the radius.

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Do you know what the radius is?

OpenStudy (plasmataco):

The diameter is 6 so the radius is 3 the formula for the area of a circle is 2radius squared themes pi so three squared times pi is nine pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the radius 4 inches?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or 3 inches?

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

The radius is 3 because the line going through the center is 6 inches.

OpenStudy (plasmataco):

Do u see how the line with the length of six passes through the center?

OpenStudy (plasmataco):

Divide it by two because the radius is half the diameter

OpenStudy (plasmataco):

I'm not sure why it isn't one of the options

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh OK so its none of the answer choices :/ @Plasmataco

OpenStudy (plasmataco):

It should be 9 times 3.14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'll ask for help ;) @jim_thompson5910

OpenStudy (plasmataco):

Ok. Don't use me as a source too much. @jim_thompson5910 is probably a better source because I'm Only 13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

same lol

OpenStudy (plasmataco):

:3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is a review and im bad at math :b

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'm guessing choice B is supposed to say \[\Large 3.14 \cdot 3^2\] ? or no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its b? @jim_thompson5910

OpenStudy (plasmataco):

Oh yeahhhhh. It is the highest possibility

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK thanks! :)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah it's B since you use the area of a circle formula \[\Large A = \pi*r^2\]
