The circumference of a circle is 11 pi inches.
What is the area, in square inches, of the circle? Express your answer in terms of pi


Sagot :

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  30.25π square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the formula for area in terms of circumference:

  A = C²/(4π)

  A = (11π)²/(4π) = (121/4)π = 30.25π . . . square inches

_____

You may be expected to find the radius first:

  C = 2πr   ⇒   r = C/(2π) = 11π/(2π) = 5.5 . . . inches

Then use the area formula:

  A = πr² = π(5.5 in)² = 30.25π in²
