Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Area of a Circle
To solve the problem of finding the area of each circle using the given radius measurements, we will use the formula for the area of a circle:

\[
A = \pi r^2
\]

Where:
- \( A \) is the area of the circle.
- \( r \) is the radius of the circle.
- \( \pi \) (pi) is approximately 3.14159.

We will calculate the area for each circle and round the answers to 1 decimal place.

Step-by-Step Calculations:



#### 1) Radius = 5 cm
\[
A = \pi r^2 = \pi (5)^2 = 3.14159 \times 25 = 78.53975 \approx 78.5 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

#### 2) Radius = 10 in
\[
A = \pi r^2 = \pi (10)^2 = 3.14159 \times 100 = 314.159 \approx 314.2 \, \text{in}^2
\]

#### 3) Radius = 3 ft
\[
A = \pi r^2 = \pi (3)^2 = 3.14159 \times 9 = 28.27431 \approx 28.3 \, \text{ft}^2
\]

#### 4) Radius = 2 yd
\[
A = \pi r^2 = \pi (2)^2 = 3.14159 \times 4 = 12.56636 \approx 12.6 \, \text{yd}^2
\]

#### 5) Radius = 8 in
\[
A = \pi r^2 = \pi (8)^2 = 3.14159 \times 64 = 201.06176 \approx 201.1 \, \text{in}^2
\]

#### 6) Radius = 6 ft
\[
A = \pi r^2 = \pi (6)^2 = 3.14159 \times 36 = 113.09724 \approx 113.1 \, \text{ft}^2
\]

#### 7) Radius = 9 cm
\[
A = \pi r^2 = \pi (9)^2 = 3.14159 \times 81 = 254.46909 \approx 254.5 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

#### 8) Radius = 16 ft
\[
A = \pi r^2 = \pi (16)^2 = 3.14159 \times 256 = 804.24776 \approx 804.2 \, \text{ft}^2
\]

#### 9) Radius = 12 in
\[
A = \pi r^2 = \pi (12)^2 = 3.14159 \times 144 = 452.38934 \approx 452.4 \, \text{in}^2
\]

#### 10) Radius = 11 yd
\[
A = \pi r^2 = \pi (11)^2 = 3.14159 \times 121 = 379.94119 \approx 380.0 \, \text{yd}^2
\]

#### 11) Radius = 20 in (Note: Diameter is given as 20 in, so radius = 20 / 2 = 10 in)
\[
A = \pi r^2 = \pi (10)^2 = 3.14159 \times 100 = 314.159 \approx 314.2 \, \text{in}^2
\]

#### 12) Radius = 14 ft
\[
A = \pi r^2 = \pi (14)^2 = 3.14159 \times 196 = 615.75164 \approx 615.8 \, \text{ft}^2
\]

Final Answers:


\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{ll}
1) & 78.5 \, \text{cm}^2 \\
2) & 314.2 \, \text{in}^2 \\
3) & 28.3 \, \text{ft}^2 \\
4) & 12.6 \, \text{yd}^2 \\
5) & 201.1 \, \text{in}^2 \\
6) & 113.1 \, \text{ft}^2 \\
7) & 254.5 \, \text{cm}^2 \\
8) & 804.2 \, \text{ft}^2 \\
9) & 452.4 \, \text{in}^2 \\
10) & 380.0 \, \text{yd}^2 \\
11) & 314.2 \, \text{in}^2 \\
12) & 615.8 \, \text{ft}^2 \\
\end{array}
}
