### Calculating the Definite Integral using Area

#### Problem Statement
Graph the integrand, and use area to evaluate the definite integral:

\[
\int_{-8}^{8} \sqrt{64 - x^2} \, dx
\]

#### Solution
To solve this problem, we need to determine the area under the curve of the given function from \(x = -8\) to \(x = 8\).

**Function:**
The integrand \(\sqrt{64 - x^2}\) represents the equation of a semicircle centered at the origin with a radius of 8. 

**Approach:**
1. **Graphing the Function:**
   - The function \(\sqrt{64 - x^2}\) is equivalent to the upper half of the circle with equation \(x^2 + y^2 = 64\).
   - This circle has a center at \((0, 0)\) and a radius of 8.
   - Only the upper half of the circle is considered due to the square root, resulting in a semicircular region above the x-axis.

2. **Calculating the Area:**
   - The full area of a circle with radius 8 is \( \pi \times 8^2 = 64\pi \).
   - Therefore, the area of the semicircle, which represents the area under the curve from \(x = -8\) to \(x = 8\), is half of the total circle area: \( 32\pi \).

Thus, the value of the definite integral \(\int_{-8}^{8} \sqrt{64 - x^2} \, dx\) is \( \boxed{32\pi} \).
