Calculate the area of a circle with radius 14 cm. - OCR - GCSE Maths - Question 13 - 2019 - Paper 1

To find the area of a circle, we use the formula:

A = rac{22}{7} r^2

where:

• $A$ is the area
• $r$ is the radius of the circle.

Given that the radius $r = 14$ cm, we can substitute it into the formula:

A = rac{22}{7} (14)^2

Now, calculate $(14)^2$:

$(14)^2 = 196$

Next, substitute this back into the area formula:

A = rac{22}{7} imes 196

Performing the multiplication:

A = rac{22 imes 196}{7} Now, simplify:

rac{22 imes 196}{7} = 22 imes 28 = 616

Thus, the area of the circle is $616 ext{ cm}^2$.
