Question

question 9 of 10
what is the approximate area of the circle shown below?
17.5 m
a. 962 m²
b. 3848 m²
c. 110 m²
d. 55 m²

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the radius

The line from center O is radius \( r = 17.5 \, \text{m} \).

Step2: Apply area formula

Area of circle: \( A = \pi r^2 \). Use \( \pi \approx 3.14 \).

Step3: Calculate the area

\( A = 3.14 \times (17.5)^2 = 3.14 \times 306.25 = 961.625 \approx 962 \, \text{m}^2 \).

Answer:

A. 962 m²
