Answer:

12 in^2

Explanation:

Since the formula to find the area of a circle is already up, we can use that to solve the question.

In the image, we can see that the diameter of the circle is 4inches. Since two radii equal one diameter, one radius is 2 inches.

--> The reason why we found the radius is because the 'r' in the formula means radius. We need the value of the radius to find the area of the circle.

Now, we can just replace r with 2.

--> A = 4
\pi

Since the question told us to replace
\pi with 3, we can do that.

--> A = 4 x 3

--> A = 12

We can conclude that the area of the circle is 12 in^2.

Answer:

12 square in

Explanation:

In the diagram, the diameter is 4 in. Radius is half the length of diameter, so the radius of the yellow circle is 2 in. Using the given formula, A = pi*r*r, we can calculate the approximate area of the circle.

A = pi*r*r = 3*2*2 = 12 square in
