What is the area of a circle that has a diameter of 10 inches if using 3.14 for pi?
- A.
31.4 Square Inches
- B.
92.40000000000001
- C.
314 Square Inches
- D.
78.5 Square Inches
Correct Answer
D. 78.5 Square InchesExplanation
The area of a circle can be calculated using the formula A = πr^2, where A is the area and r is the radius. In this case, the diameter is given as 10 inches, so the radius would be half of that, which is 5 inches. Plugging this value into the formula, we get A = 3.14 * 5^2 = 3.14 * 25 = 78.5 square inches.Rate this question:
