The area \(A\) of a circle is calculated using the formula:
\(A = \pi r^2\)
where \(r\) is the radius of the circle. Given:
- Radius \(r = 7 \text{ cm}\)
- \(\pi = \frac{22}{7}\)
Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
\(A = \frac{22}{7} \times (7)^2\)
Simplify the equation:
\(A = \frac{22}{7} \times 49\)
\(A = 22 \times 7\)
Calculate the resulting multiplication:
\(A = 154 \text{ cm}^2\)
Thus, the area of the circle is 154 cm².
