Answer: The area of the circle is 16π square inches
This is because the diagram shows a circle whose diameter id shown to be 8 inches.
From the formula of the area of a circle given as :
[tex]A\text{ = }\pi\times r^2[/tex]
Where:
r = radius of the circle = one half of the diameter of the circle
Thus:
r = (1/2) * 8 = 4 inches
Input the value of the radius in the formula:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A\text{ = }\pi\times4^2 \\ A=\pi\times16 \\ A\text{ = 16}\pi in^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, the area of the circle is 16π square inches
