The formula for calculating the area of the circle made by Sara is given by the following general formula:
[tex]A=\pi\times r^2[/tex]where r = radius of the circle, and:
[tex]\text{radius}=\frac{\text{diameter}}{2}[/tex]Now, given that the diameter of the circle made by sara is 8 inches, the radius will be:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{radius}=\frac{\text{diameter}}{2} \\ \text{radius}=\frac{8}{2}=4\text{ inches} \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, the area of the circle will be:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\pi\times r^2 \\ \text{Given that: }\pi=3.14,\text{ and r = 4 inches, we have:} \\ A=3.14\times4^2 \\ A=3.14\times16=50.24in^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore the area of the circle made by Sara is 50.24 square inches
Correct answer: Option A
