First you would have to divide 8 by 2.

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...
\(\huge{\frac{8}{2}=r}\)

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 \(\large{\pi}\).

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

50.24?
OpenStudy (blazeryder):
You got it!
563blackghost (563blackghost):
That is correct :)
OpenStudy (blazeryder):
But don't forget \[50.25 units ^{2}\]
