Answer: 153.9 inches sq

Step-by-step explanation: The area of a circle is A= 3.14 times radius squared. Assuming we are finding area, we use this formula. The diameter is 14 so the radius is 7. Seven squared is 49, so we would do 3.14 times 49. This equals 153.86, then rounded is 153.9. I hope that I helped you out a bit!
