Question

what is the best approximation for the area of this circle?
use 3.14 to approximate pi.
25.1 in²
50.2 in²
201.0 in²
803.8 in²

Explanation:

Step1: Recall circle area formula

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

Step2: Identify given radius

The radius $r = 8$ in, $\pi \approx 3.14$.

Step3: Calculate $r^2$

$r^2 = 8^2 = 64$

Step4: Compute the area

$A = 3.14 \times 64 = 200.96$

Step5: Approximate the result

$200.96 \approx 201.0$

Answer:

C. 201.0 in²
