The radius of a circle is 14 m. The area of the circle is:

The correct answer is Option (3) → 616 m²

The area of a circle of radius \(r\) is \(\pi r^{2}\); with \(\pi=\frac{22}{7}\), a radius that is a multiple of 7 makes the working short, because the 7 in the denominator cancels.

• Putting \(r=14\) into \(\pi r^{2}\): \(\displaystyle\frac{22}{7}\times14\times14\)

• \(22\times2\times14=616\), so the area is 616 m²
