Given:

Diameter = 12 in

Diameter = 2r
Radius = D/2
Radius = 12/2 in

Radius = 6 in

Determine the area of the circle.

Formula for the area of the circle:

A = π r²

Solution:

Substitute the given value of  the radius to the formula for the are of the circle.

A = π r²

A = π (6 in)^2

A = 36 π in^2

A = 113.1 in^2

Final answer:

A = 113.1 in^2
