For your convenience, I have included the different variations of formulas that you can use to find the area of a circle.

Problem 1: What is the area of a circle with radius 8 meters? Leave your answer in terms of \large{\pi}.

This problem requires us to leave our answer in terms of \pi.

64\pi square meters

Problem 2: The diameter of a circle is 4.5 feet. Find its area. Use \pi = 3.1416.

15.90 square feet

Problem 3: Find the area of the circle below with a given radius. Use \pi = 3.14

907.46 square centimeters

Problem 4: Find the area of the circle below with a given diameter. Use the value of \pi on your calculator.

Make sure that you use the internal value of \pi on your calculator.

60.00 square inches

Problem 5: The circumference of a circle is 22.2 feet. What is its area? Use \pi = 3.14

39.24 square feet

Problem 6: Determine the area of a dinner plate with a circumference of 37.68 inches. Use \pi = 3.14.

113.04 square inches

Problem 7: The radius of a circle is 5 inches. Find the area of the circle expressed in square centimeters c{m^2}. Use 1 in = 2.54 cm. Use \pi = 3.14.

Convert 5 inches to centimeters.
