Question

fiona draws a circle with a diameter of 14 meters. what is the area of fionas circle?
$7\pi \\,m^{2}$
$14\pi \\,m^{2}$
$28\pi \\,m^{2}$
$49\pi \\,m^{2}$

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the radius

Radius $r = \frac{\text{diameter}}{2} = \frac{14}{2} = 7$ meters

Step2: Apply area formula

Area of circle $A = \pi r^2 = \pi \times 7^2$

Step3: Compute the squared term

$7^2 = 49$, so $A = 49\pi$ $m^2$

Answer:

49π m² (Option D: $49\pi \, m^2$)
