The area is:

113.04 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the circle's area, use the formula
\sf{A=\pi r^2}.

where:

A = area;

π = 3.14 (pi);

r = radius

Diagram:


\setlength{\unitlength}{1cm}\begin{picture}(0,0)\thicklines\qbezier(2.3,0)(2.121,2.121)(0,2.3)\qbezier(-2.3,0)(-2.121,2.121)(0,2.3)\qbezier(-2.3,0)(-2.121,-2.121)(0,-2.3)\qbezier(2.3,0)(2.121,-2.121)(-0,-2.3)\put(0,0){\line(1,0){2.3}}\put(0.5,0.3){\bf\large 6\ in}\end{picture}

Plug in the data:


\sf{A=3.14*6^2}


\sf{A=3.14*36}


\sf{A=113.04\:in^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Área of a circle is given as


\pi * {r}^(2)

Therefore you can substitute the values as follows:


3.14 * {6}^(2) = 113.09733552923

Answer not rounded to any decimal place and used of 3.14 as said in the instruction
