Given:
The diameter of the circle = 14 cm
To find:
The area of the circle.
Solution:
We have,
Diameter of the circle = 14 cm
We know that the radius of the circle is half of its diameter. So,
[tex]r=\dfrac{14}{2}[/tex]
[tex]r=7\text{ cm}[/tex]
The area of a circle is:
[tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex]
Substituting [tex]\pi=\dfrac{22}{7}, r=7[/tex] in the above formula, we get
[tex]A=\dfrac{22}{7}\times (7)^2[/tex]
[tex]A=22\times 7[/tex]
[tex]A=154[/tex]
Therefore, the area of the circle is 154 square cm.
