Question

the chalk circle around the pitcher’s mound has a diameter of 16 ft. what is the area of the pitcher’s circle? a =? ft² 8π 16π 64π 256π

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the radius

The radius $r$ is half the diameter.
$r = \frac{16}{2} = 8$ ft

Step2: Compute the circle area

Use the area formula $A = \pi r^2$.
$A = \pi \times 8^2 = 64\pi$ ft²

Answer:

$64\pi$ ft²
