Find the exact area of a circle having The given circumference eight pi

OpenStudy (blazeryder):

First you would have to divide 8 by 2.

563blackghost (563blackghost):

We are told that the circumference is \(\Large\bf{8 \pi}\). We would need to work backwards to find the radius so we can find the area. \(\huge\bf{A= \pi r^{2}}\) So lets work backwards from the Circumference formula... \(\huge{8 \pi = \pi~ (r \times 2)}\) So we know `pi` is multiplied into `8pi` so that cancels... \(\huge\bf{8=r \times 2}\) So we now would divide by 2... \(\huge{\frac{8}{2}=r}\)

OpenStudy (jamesreed30):

So 4 is the answer?

OpenStudy (blazeryder):

Not exactly. Now you know the radius is 4. Now you have to plug in 4 into: \[A=\pi \times r ^{2}\]

563blackghost (563blackghost):

No. That would be the radius. Now we can find the Area. \(\huge\bf{A= \pi (4)^{2}}\) Simplify....but keep \(\large{\pi}\) as \(\large{\pi}\).

OpenStudy (blazeryder):

\[A=\pi \times 4^{2}\]\[A=3.14 \times 16\]

OpenStudy (jamesreed30):

50.24?

OpenStudy (blazeryder):

You got it!

563blackghost (563blackghost):

That is correct :)

OpenStudy (blazeryder):

But don't forget \[50.25 units ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (jamesreed30):

Yupp thank you both!

OpenStudy (blazeryder):

No problem! Any more problems?

OpenStudy (jamesreed30):

Yes I will post it

OpenStudy (blazeryder):

Okay =)
