Question

the radius of a circle is 34.9 inches. what is the circles area? round your answer to the nearest hundredth. square inches

Explanation:

Step1: Recall circle area formula

The area $A$ of a circle is given by $A = \pi r^2$, where $r$ is the radius.

Step2: Substitute radius value

Substitute $r = 34.9$ inches into the formula:
$A = \pi \times (34.9)^2$
First calculate $(34.9)^2 = 34.9 \times 34.9 = 1218.01$

Step3: Compute the area

$A = \pi \times 1218.01 \approx 3.1416 \times 1218.01$
$A \approx 3826.50$

Answer:

3826.50 square inches
