A circular pan has a diameter of 8 inches.
What is the exact area of the pan?

Answer 1

Hello!

A circular pan is the same as a circle

To find the area of a circle you use the equation

$\pi r^{2}$

r is radius which is half the diameter

put in 3.14 for pi and the radius

3.14 * $4^{2}$

square the 4

3.14 * 16

Multiply

The answer is 50.24

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Area of circle:

$A = \pi r^2$

$radius = \dfrac{diameter}{2}$

$r = \dfrac{8~in.}{2} = 4~in.$

$A = \pi \times (4 ~in.)^2$

$A = 16 \pi ~in.^2$
