Find the area of a circle with a diameter of 16 inches. Use 3.14 for pi.

a.50.24 in2

b.100.48 in2

c.200.96 in2

d.251.2 in2

I keep getting 201.06in² but that is not one of my choices. Can someone please explain what I'm doing wrong?

Verified Answer :

Answer:

200.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of the circle = 16 inches

Radius of the circle = 16/2

                               = 8 inches

pi = 3.14

Then

Area of the circle = pi (Radius)^2

                           = 3.14 (8)^2

                           = 3.14 64

                           = 200.96 square inches

Given data

Diameter = 16 inches

radius = Diameter/2

radius = 16/2

radius = 8 inches

We have pi as 3.14

We know that the expression for calculating the the area of a circle is given as

Area = \(\pi r^{2}\)

Substituting our given data into the expression above we have

Area= 3.14*8^2

Area = 200.96 Square inches

Hence the area of the circle is 200.96 Square inches
