do you know the formula for finding the area of a circle using diameter ?
Area of circle = \[\pi * d^2 / 4 \]where d is diameter of circle
go on google and find an area calculator :D
Area = \(\large \pi r^2\)
The radius (r) is half of the diameter. So if the diameter given is 28cm what would the radius be?
@rainbowswirl
@hartnn Do you think you could explain this to me all in one? Im super confused :(
so half would be 14
@jhonyy9
To calculate the area, you need to use the formula \(\text{Area} = \pi r^2\). Since we are given the diameter, we need to find the radius to help us evaluate the formula for finding the area. The radius is always half of the diameter. Meaning that if my diameter was 4, for example, then my radius would be 2.
Do you understand that so far?
Okay, half is 14 @calculusxy
That's correct and so 14 would be your radius. You can plug that into the formula now. \(Area = \pi (14)^2\) Since the question said to use 22/7 for \(\pi\), you would now have: \(\frac{22}{7}(14)^2 = Area\). Can you evaluate that?
I dont know how, could you show me? @calculusxy
Okay so 14^2 = 14 x 14 = 196 \(\large \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{196}{1}\) Can you do that?
I got 616 @calculusxy
Me too
Is that it? @calculusxy
I think so. The answer should be \(616 \text{cm}^2\)
