Answer:
78.5 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a circle can be found using the following formula.
a=πr²
We know the radius of the circle is 5 centimeters.
r=5
Substitute 5 in for r.
a=π(5²)
Evaluate the exponent. 5² is equal to 5*5, which equals 25.
a=π(25)
Multiply 25 and pi
a=78.5398163397
Round to the nearest tenth. The 3 in the hundredth place tells use to leave the 5 in the tenths place as is.
a≈78.5
Add appropriate units. Area always uses units², and the units in this case are centimeters.
a≈78.5 centimeters²
The area of the circle is about 78.5 square centimeters.
