Question

a circle is shown with center at point p. 8 cm p area = \\(\pi r^{2}\\), where r is the radius of the circle what is the approximate area of the circle? (use 3.14 for \\(\pi\\).) a. 25.12 \\(cm^{2}\\) b. 50.24 \\(cm^{2}\\) c. 200.96 \\(cm^{2}\\) d. 631.01 \\(cm^{2}\\) e. 803.84 \\(cm^{2}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the radius

The radius $r = 8$ cm.

Step2: Apply the area formula

Substitute $r = 8$ and $\pi=3.14$ into $A=\pi r^{2}$. So $A = 3.14\times8^{2}$.

Step3: Calculate $8^{2}$

$8^{2}=8\times8 = 64$.

Step4: Multiply by $\pi$

$A=3.14\times64 = 200.96$ $cm^{2}$.

Answer:

C. $200.96$ $cm^{2}$
