Answer:

A = 177 cm²

Explanation:

A diameter is two times longer than a radius. Therefore, if the diameter

d = 15cm, then the radius r = (15cm) : 2 = 7.5cm.

The formula of an area of a circle:


A=\pi r^2

Substitute:


A=\pi(7.5)^2=56.25\pi\ cm^2


\pi\approx3.14

Then


A\approx(56.25)(3.14)\approx177\ cm^2
