Step-by-step explanation

The formula to calculate the area of a circle is:


\begin{gathered} A=\pi r^2 \\ \text{ Where} \\ A\text{ is the area} \\ r\text{ is the radius} \end{gathered}

So, we have:


r=\frac{\text{ diameter}}{2}=(18cm)/(2)=9cm
\begin{gathered} A=\pi r^(2) \\ A=\pi(9cm)^2 \\ A=81\pi cm^2 \end{gathered}Answer

81π cm²
