Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Find radius from diameter

Radius $r = \frac{\text{diameter}}{2} = \frac{32}{2} = 16$ miles

Step2: Apply circle area formula

Area $A = \pi r^2 = \pi \times 16^2$

Step3: Calculate and round to hundredth

$A = \pi \times 256 \approx 804.25$

Answer:

804.25 square miles
