Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr^2, where r is the radius. In this case, A = 1256 cm^2, so πr^2 = 1256. Dividing both sides by π, we get r^2 = 1256 / π ≈ 400. Taking the square root of both sides, we get r ≈ 20 cm.

Multiple choice

A circle has a circumference of 56.52 cm. What is its area?

  1. 254.47 cm^2

  2. 274.87 cm^2

  3. 295.27 cm^2

  4. 315.67 cm^2

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The circumference of a circle is given by the formula C = 2πr, where r is the radius. In this case, C = 56.52 cm, so 2πr = 56.52. Dividing both sides by 2π, we get r = 56.52 / 2π ≈ 9 cm. Therefore, the area of the circle is given by the formula A = πr^2 = π(9)^2 ≈ 274.87 cm^2.
