Answer:

Option(c)

The area of the circle is 201 square inch when it has a diameter of 16 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the diameter of circle is, D = 16 inches,

which when converted to radius, r = D/2 =16/2 =8

so radius will be 8 inches.

The area of a circle is determined by the formula
\pi r^2,

where π = 22/7 and r = 8

Calculating and putting values in the formula

A =
(22)/(7) *(8)^(2) =201.1428 sq. inch

= 201 sq. inch (rounded to the nearest)

therefore the area of the circle is 201 square inch
