The diameter of a circle is 14 ft. What is the area of the circle?

Answer 1

The area of the circle is #154# square feet.

The formula for area of a circle is:

#A=pir^2#, where #A=#area, #pi=22/7#, and #r=#radius.

Since we know that the radius is half the diameter of a circle, we know that the radius of the given circle is #14/2=7ft#.

Hence:

#A=pir^2#

#A=22/7xx7^2#

#A=22/7xx7xx7#

#A=22/cancel7xxcancel7xx7#

#A=22xx7#

#A=154#

To find the area ( A ) of a circle when given its diameter ( d ), use the formula:

[ A = \frac{\pi}{4} \times d^2 ]

Given ( d = 14 ) ft, substitute this value into the formula:

[ A = \frac{\pi}{4} \times (14^2) ] [ A = \frac{\pi}{4} \times 196 ] [ A = 49\pi ]

The area of the circle is ( 49\pi ) square feet.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
