Question

question 6 of 10
what is the approximate area of the circle shown below?
17 cm
a. 908 cm²
b. 107 cm²
c. 53 cm²
d. 3630 cm²

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula

The formula for the area of a circle is $A = \pi r^{2}$, where $r$ is the radius.

Step2: Substitute radius value

Given $r = 17$ cm, so $A=\pi\times(17)^{2}=\pi\times289$.

Step3: Approximate $\pi$

Taking $\pi\approx 3.14$, then $A\approx3.14\times289 = 907.46\approx908$ $cm^{2}$.

Answer:

A. $908$ $cm^{2}$
