Question

the diameter of a circle is 97.6 yards. what is the circles area?
round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
____ square yards

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the radius

The radius $r$ is half the diameter.
$r = \frac{97.6}{2} = 48.8$ yards

Step2: Apply area formula

Use the circle area formula $A = \pi r^2$.
$A = \pi \times (48.8)^2$

Step3: Compute and round

Calculate the value and round to nearest hundredth.
$A = \pi \times 2381.44 \approx 7468.63$ square yards

Answer:

7468.63 square yards
