Hey!
The area of the circle would be 28.26 feet squared

Lets break it down:

The formula for the area is pi×radius×radius
We have the diameter, so to find the radius, we need to divide the diameter by 2. 6÷2=3
Now that we have the radius, wr can plug in our numbers: 3.14×3×3= the area, or 28.26 feet sq.

Hope this helps!
