Which of the following is closest to the area of the circle that Jenny drew?
Responses
A 15.7 in²
B 7.85 in²
C 11.57 in²
D 19.625 in²

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle.

Since the bowl has a diameter of 5 inches, the radius is half of that, so r = 2.5 inches.

Plugging this into the formula, we get:
A = π(2.5)^2
A = π(6.25)
A = 19.625 in^2

Therefore, the closest option is D) 19.625 in^2.
