Question #N64
A circle has a radius of 5 units. What is the area of the circle, in square units? (Use $\pi$ = 3.14)
A. 15.7
B. 31.4
C. 78.5
D. 157
Correct Answer is: C
The area of a circle is given by the formula $A = \pi r^2$, where $r$ is the radius. Substituting 5 for $r$ and 3.14 for $\pi$ gives us $A = (3.14)(5)^2 = 78.5$ square units.
