To find the area of a circle, we can use the formula:

$A = \pi r^2$

Where:

• $A$ is the area,
• $r$ is the radius of the circle,
• $\pi \approx 3.1416$.

Given the radius $r = 88 \, \text{in}$, we can calculate the area as follows:

$A = \pi (88)^2$ $A = 3.1416 \times 7744$ $A \approx 24356.5 \, \text{in}^2$

So, the area of the circle is approximately 24356.5 in².

Here are a few related questions:

1. How would the area change if the radius were doubled?
2. What is the circumference of the circle with a radius of 88 inches?
3. How would the area change if the radius were halved?
4. What is the formula for the area of a sector of a circle?
5. How can we derive the formula for the area of a circle?

Tip: Always use 3.1416 for $\pi$ when you need a quick approximation, or use the more precise value $\pi \approx 3.1415927$ for more accuracy.
