The area of an 8 cm radius circle can be calculated using the formula πr². Substituting r = 8 cm, the area is π * (8 cm)² = 64π cm². Approximating π as 3.14, the area is approximately 201.06 cm².

Questions and answers

  1. What is the formula for the area of a circle?

    The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr², where A is the area and r is the radius.

  2. How do you approximate π?

    π can be approximated as 3.14 for easier calculations, though a more precise value is 3.14159.

  3. What is the area of a circle with a radius of 10 cm?

    The area of a circle with a radius of 10 cm is A = π(10 cm)² = 100π cm², which is approximately 314.16 cm².
