You want to find the area of the circle. The formula for the area of a circle is A=πr^2 (Area=pi times radius squared). The diameter is the distance across the circle. Radius is half the diameter. Diameter=3. 3 divided by 2 equals 1.5. So, plug it into the equation. A=π1.5^2 (Area=pi times 1.5 squared).
