We can find the area of any circle with the formula [tex] A = \pi r^2 [/tex]
Where r is the radius. We have the diameter but we need the radius.
Luckily, finding the radius is easy if you have the diameter because the radius of half of the diameter.
8 / 2 = 4
And we will let [tex] \pi [/tex] = 3.14
A = (3.14)(4)^2
A = (3.14)(16)
A = 50.24
So, the area of the square is A) 50.24 square inches.
