Answer:
2.25π square inches [or 7.07 sq. in. rounded to 2 decimal places]
Explanation:
The largest circle inscribed in a square would have DIAMETER EQUAL TO THE SIDE LENGTH OF THE SQUARE.
Since diameter is double of radius, we can find the radius to be:
diameter = 3 [side length of square]
radius = 3/2 = 1.5 inches
The area of a circle is πr^2
THus, the largest circle area = πr^2 = π(1.5)^2 = π(2.25) = 2.25π square inches
