#201# square inches

Explanation:

Area of a circle, #A# = #pir^2#
#r# = radius of the circle = #(diameter)/2# = #16/2# = #8# inches

So, area of circle = #pixx8^2# = #22/7xx8^2# = #1408/7# = #201.14# square inches

(Note: #pi# = #22/7#)

So, are of the circle to nearest square inches = #201# square inches
