Area of a circle

The question
r = 8 cm²

Area of a circle marked 8 cm

How it works.

8 cm
  1. 01

    The 8 cm marked here runs from the center to the edge — that is the radius, which is what both formulas want.

  2. 02

    Area is π × r × r. Square the radius first: 8 × 8 = 64.

  3. 03

    Then multiply by π: 64 × 3.14 = 200.96 square cm.
