What is the area of a circle that has a diameter of 24?

Answer 1

Theodore Abad

#A = 144pi#

#A = pir^2#

#D = 2r#

#D = 24# #=> 2r = 24# #=> r = 12#

#A = pi12^2#

#=> A = 144pi#

The area of a circle with diameter (d) is given by the formula (A = \pi \times \left(\frac{d}{2}\right)^2). Given that the diameter of the circle is 24, the radius ((r)) is half of the diameter, so (r = \frac{24}{2} = 12). Substituting (r = 12) into the formula, we have (A = \pi \times 12^2 = \pi \times 144). Thus, the area of the circle is (144\pi), or approximately (452.39) square units.

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.
