Answer:
249.68 square centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
Let C and A be the circumference and the area of the circle respectively.
C = 2πr
56 = 2 × 3.14 × r
56 = 6.28 × r
Divide both sides by 6.28
r = 56/6.28
r = 8.9172
A = πr^2
A = 3.14 × (8.9172)^2
= 249.68 square centimeters
Therefore, area of the circle is 249.68 square centimeters
