Scanslove 2/3 that's the one step 2

$$r = \frac{7 \text{ cm}}{2} = 3.5 \text{ cm}$$ $$A = \frac{22}{7} \times (3.5 \text{ cm})^2 = \frac{22}{7} \times 12.25 \text{ cm}^2$$

To simplify $\frac{22}{7} \times 12.25$, we can divide 12.25 by 7 first.

$$12.25 \div 7 = 1.75$$

Then, multiply the result by 22.

$$A = 22 \times 1.75 \text{ cm}^2$$ $$A = 38.5 \text{ cm}^2$$

The area of the circle is $\text{38.5 cm}^2$.
