we are asked to determine the area of a circle with a diameter of 6 cm. To do that we will use the following formula for the area of a circle:


A=(\pi D^2)/(4)

Replacing the value of the radius:


A=\frac{\pi(6\operatorname{cm})^2}{4}

Replacing the value of pi:


A=\frac{3.14(6\operatorname{cm})^2}{4}

Solving the operations:


\begin{gathered} A=(3.14(36cm^2))/(4) \\ \\ A=3.14(9cm^2)=28.26cm^2 \end{gathered}
