Area of a circle

The formula to calculate the area of a circle, with radius \(r\) is: \(\text{area of a circle} = \pi r^2\)

Calculate the area of the clock face. Give your answer to one decimal place.

\(\text{Area} = \pi \times 8^2\)

Remember to use . The radius must be squared first before multiplying by \(\pi\).

The exact value for the area is = \(64\pi\). Rounded to 1 decimal place, the area is 201.1 cm².
