Question

question 3 of 10
what is the approximate area of the circle shown below?
circle with center c and radius 3.7 ft
a. 172 ft²
b. 11.6 ft²
c. 23.2 ft²
d. 43 ft²

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the radius

The radius \( r = 3.7 \, \text{ft} \).

Step2: Apply area formula

Area \( A = \pi r^2 \approx 3.14 \times (3.7)^2 \).

Step3: Calculate the value

\( 3.7^2 = 13.69 \), then \( 3.14 \times 13.69 \approx 43 \).

Answer:

D. 43 ft²
