Question

the diameter of a circle is 32 meters. what is the circles area?
round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
____ square meters

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the radius

The radius $r$ is half the diameter.
$r = \frac{32}{2} = 16$ meters

Step2: Apply circle area formula

Use the area formula $A = \pi r^2$.
$A = \pi \times 16^2 = 256\pi$

Step3: Compute and round the value

Calculate the numerical value and round to the nearest hundredth.
$A \approx 256 \times 3.14159265 \approx 804.25$

Answer:

804.25 square meters
