The point (3,0) lies on a circle with the center at the origin. What is the area of the circle to the nearest hundredth?
The center is at the origin and the point \((3,0)\) lies on the circle, so \(r=3\)
\(A=\pi r^2\\
A=\pi \cdot3^2\\
A=9\pi\\
A\approx28.27\)
we know that
the equation of a circle with the center at the origin is equal to
\(x^{2} +y^{2} =r^{2}\)
step 1
with the point (3,0) find the value of the radius
substitute the values of
\(x=3\\ y=0\)
in the equation of the circle above
so
\(3^{2} +0^{2} =r^{2}\)
\(3^{2} =r^{2}\)
\(r =3\)
step 2
with the radius find the area of the circle
area of the circle is equal to
\(A=\pi *r^{2}\)
for \(r=3\)
\(A=\pi *3^{2}\)
\(A=28.27\)units²
therefore
the answer is
the area of the circle to the nearest hundredth is \(A=28.27\)units²
