What is the best approximation for the area of this circle?


Use 3.14 to approximate pi.

The radius is labled 4.

PLEASE HELP!


12.6 m²


25.1 m²


50.2 m²


158.0 m²

Verified Answer :

Area of circle = πr² = 3.14×4² = 50.24m²

The best approximation is C.

Answer:  [C]:  50.2 m²
__________________________

Since: Area of a circle:  A = 
\(\pi\) r² ';

And:  A = \(\pi\) = 3.14  
4² =  3.14 16 ;  

We know that the area will be a bit more that ( 3 m
16 m = 48 m²) ;

And, Answer choice: [C]:  50.2 m² ; is the closest value.
