What is the area of a circle with radius 8? (Use π ≈ 3.14)

To find the area of a circle, the formula used is ( A = \pi r^2 ), where ( A ) represents the area and ( r ) is the radius of the circle. In this case, the radius is given as 8.

First, we square the radius:

[

r^2 = 8^2 = 64.

]

Next, we multiply this result by ( \pi ):

[

A = \pi \times 64.

]

Using the approximation ( \pi \approx 3.14 ):

[

A \approx 3.14 \times 64 = 200.96.

]

Thus, the area of the circle is approximately 200.96 square units. This calculation confirms that the correct choice is indeed the first option, which states that the area is 200.96.
