Question

What is the area of a circle with a diameter of , rounded to the nearest whole number?

Answer

The formula for the area of a circle is

$\dpi{100} \pi r^{2}$

Find the radius by dividing 9 by 2:

$\dpi{100} \frac{9}{2}=4.5$

So the formula for area would now be:

$\dpi{100} \pi r^{2}=\pi (4.5)^{2}=20.25\pi \approx 63.6= 64$

Question

What is the area of a circle that has a diameter of inches?

Answer

The formula for finding the area of a circle is $\pi r^{2}$ . In this formula, represents the radius of the circle. Since the question only gives us the measurement of the diameter of the circle, we must calculate the radius. In order to do this, we divide the diameter by .

$\frac{15}{2}=7.5$

Now we use for in our equation.

$\pi (7.5)^{2}=176.7146 : in^{2}$

Question

The circumference of a circle is inches. Find the area of the circle.

Let $\pi = 3.14$ .

Answer

First we need to find the radius of the circle. The circumference of a circle is $Circumference =2\pi r$ , where is the radius of the circle.

$12.56=2\times 3.14\times r\Rightarrow r=2\ in$

The area of a circle is $Area=\pi r^2$ where is the radius of the circle.

$Area=\pi r^2=3.14\times 2^2=12.56\ in^2$

Question

What is the area of a circle with a diameter equal to ?

Answer

If the diameter is 7, then the radius is half of 7, or 3.5.

Plug this value for the radius into the equation for the area of a circle:

$A=r^2\pi=(3.5)^2\pi=12.25\pi$

Question

A circle has a circumference of $\small 6\pi$ . What is its area?

Answer

To begin, we need to find the radius of the circle. The circumference of a circle is given as follows:

$\small C = 2\pi r$ ,

where is the radius.

Then, a circle with circumference $6\pi$ will have the following radius:

$6\pi = 2\pi r$

$\small \frac{6\pi}{2\pi}=\frac{2\pi r}{2\pi}$

$\small 3=r$

Using the radius, we can now solve for the area:

$\small A=\pi r^2$

$A=\pi(3)^2$

$\small A=9\pi$

The area of the circle is $\small 9\pi$ .

Question

A circle has a diameter of inches. What is the area of the circle? Round to the nearest tenth decimal place.

Answer

The formula to find the area of a circle is $A=\pi\cdot r^2$ .

First you must find the radius from the diameter.

$r=\frac{1}{2}d \rightarrow r=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 10=5$

In this case it is,

$A=5^2 \cdot \pi = 25\cdot 3.14= 78.5$

Question

The rectangle in the above figure has length 20 and height 10. What is the area of the orange region?

Answer

The orange region is a composite of two figures:

One is a rectangle measuring 20 by 10, which, subsequently, has area

$20 \cdot 10 = 200$ .

The other is a semicircle with diameter 10, and, subsequently, radius 5. Its area is

$\frac{1}{2} \pi \cdot 5^{2} = \frac{25}{2} \pi$ .

Add the areas:

$A = 200 + \frac{25}{2} \pi$
