OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

thats what i did.. am i right ? did i do it correctly ?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

the units are squared so cm^2

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

ok... and the answer.. ? 322.14 ?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

I don't have a calculator with me but 34 x 14 = 476 circle will be 3.14 x 49 = 150 as a rough guess so your answer makes sense
