What is the area of the circle whose radius is 3.5cm ?
MathBot Answer:
The area of a circle is $\frac{49 \pi}{4} \approx 38.48\, \text{cm}^2$.
Note: Approximate solutions are rounded to the nearest hundredths place.
Given: $$\begin{aligned}r&=\frac{7}{2} = 3.5\end{aligned}$$
Area
The area of a circle is given by the equation: $$\begin{aligned}A&=\pi r^{2}\end{aligned}$$ where $A$ is area and $r$ is radius.
Solution:$$\begin{aligned}A&=\pi r^{2}\\A&=\pi \left(\frac{7}{2}\right)^{2}\\A&=\frac{49 \pi}{4}\end{aligned}$$
A circle is a two dimensional figure that has no corners or edges. Its radius r is the distance between the center of the circle and any point on the circle. Its diameter d is twice the radius, forming a line segment passing through the center of the circle.
The circumference C, also known as perimeter P, of a circle is the distance around a circle. $$\begin{aligned} C &= 2 \pi r \\ &= \pi d \end{aligned}$$
The area A of a circle is the region enclosed inside it. $$A = \pi r^{2}$$
