Math Problem Statement

Find the area of the circle with the following dimension. Radius = 8 in

Solution

The image provides a question asking to find the area of a circle with a given radius of 8 inches.

The formula for the area AA of a circle is:

A=πr2A = \pi r^2

Where:

  • rr is the radius of the circle
  • π\pi is approximately 3.14159

Substituting the given radius r=8r = 8 inches:

A=π(8)2=π×643.14159×64201.06square inchesA = \pi (8)^2 = \pi \times 64 \approx 3.14159 \times 64 \approx 201.06 \, \text{square inches}

So, the area of the circle is approximately 201.06square inches201.06 \, \text{square inches}.

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. How does the area change if the radius is doubled?
  2. What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 8 inches?
  3. How would you calculate the area of a semicircle with the same radius?
  4. What is the formula for the volume of a sphere with radius rr?
  5. If the radius was given in centimeters, how would you convert the area to square inches?

Tip: The area of a circle increases with the square of the radius, so even a small increase in radius results in a much larger area!
