△ Find the circumference of the circle in terms of \( \pi \) and rounded to the nearest tenth. ○ Calculate the radius ☼ The radius \( r \) is half of the diameter. Given \( d = 22 \, \text{yd} \), \( r = \frac{22}{2} = 11 \, \text{yd} \). ○ Calculate the circumference ☼ The circumference \( C \) is \( \pi d \). Thus, \( C = \pi \times 22 = 22\pi \, \text{yd} \). ○ Round the circumference ☼ Using \( \pi \approx 3.14159 \), \( C \approx 22 \times 3.14159 = 69.11598 \, \text{yd} \). Rounding to the nearest tenth, \( C \approx 69.1 \, \text{yd} \). ✧ The circumference is \( 22\pi \, \text{yd} \) and approximately \( 69.1 \, \text{yd} \).

△ Find the area of the circle in terms of \( \pi \) and rounded to the nearest tenth. ○ Calculate the area ☼ The area \( A \) is \( \pi r^2 \). Thus, \( A = \pi \times 11^2 = 121\pi \, \text{yd}^2 \). ○ Round the area ☼ Using \( \pi \approx 3.14159 \), \( A \approx 121 \times 3.14159 = 380.13239 \, \text{yd}^2 \). Rounding to the nearest tenth, \( A \approx 380.1 \, \text{yd}^2 \). ✧ The area is \( 121\pi \, \text{yd}^2 \) and approximately \( 380.1 \, \text{yd}^2 \). ☺ The circumference of the circle in terms of $\pi$ is $22\pi$ yd. The circumference of the circle rounded to the nearest tenth is $69.1$ yd. The area of the circle in terms of $\pi$ is $121\pi$ yd$^2$. The area of the circle rounded to the nearest tenth is $380.1$ yd$^2$.
