The area of a circle can be calculated using the formula:
Area = π × r²
Where:
- π (pi) is approximately 3.14159
- r is the radius of the circle
Given that the radius r is 10 inches, we can plug this value into the formula:
Area = π × (10 inches)²
Calculating the square of the radius:
(10 inches)² = 100 square inches
Now, multiply by π:
Area = 3.14159 × 100 square inches
Area ≈ 314.159 square inches
Therefore, the area of a circle with a radius of 10 inches is approximately 314.159 square inches.
