The radius of a circle is 5 cm. Find its area to the nearest tenth.

78.5 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is found by

A = pi r^2

A = pi (5)^2

A = 25pi

Letting pi = 3.14

A = 25(3.14)

A =78.5 cm^2

Letting  pi be the pi button

A =78.53981634

Rounding to the nearest tenth

78.5

78.5 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle can be found using the following formula.

a=πr²

We know the radius of the circle is 5 centimeters.

r=5

Substitute 5 in for r.

a=π(5²)

Evaluate the exponent. 5² is equal to 5*5, which equals 25.

a=π(25)

Multiply 25 and pi

a=78.5398163397

Round to the nearest tenth. The 3 in the hundredth place tells use to leave the 5 in the tenths place as is.

a≈78.5

Add appropriate units. Area always uses units², and the units in this case are centimeters.

a≈78.5 centimeters²

The area of the circle is about 78.5 square centimeters.

i think it is 18
