Answer:

254.34 mm².

Explanation:

For this problem, we use the formula to find the area of a circle, which is
A=\pi r^2 .
r is the radius, which we can find by dividing the diameter by 2 and
\pi in this case is 3.14.


A=\pi r^2\\A=3.14*(18/2)^2\\A=3.14*9^2\\A=3.14*81\\A=254.34

Therefore, the area of either face of the coin is 254.34 mm².

I hope this helps!
