Area of a Circle: Applying the formula

First we need the formula for the area of a circle:

 $\pi r^2$

In the question, we are given the diameter of the circle, but we still need the radius.

It is known that the radius is actually half of the diameter, therefore:

$r=7:2=3.5$

We substitute the value into the formula.

$\pi3.5^2=12.25\pi$

Remember that the formula for the area of a circle is

πR²

We insert the known data:

π3²

π9

Remember that the formula for the area of a circle is

πR²

We replace the data we know:

π7²

π49

First, let's remember what the formula for the area of a circle is:

$S=\pi r^2$

The problem gives us the diameter, and we know that the radius is half of the diameter therefore:

$\frac{13}{2}=6.5$

We replace in the formula and solve:

$S=\pi\times6.5^2$

$S=42.25\pi$

Formula for the area of a circle:

$S=\pi r^2$

We complete the shape into a full circle and notice that 14 is the diameter.

A diameter is equal to 2 radii, so:$r=7$

We replace in the formula:$S=\pi\times7^2$

$S=49\pi$
