(Pi value = 3)

Given diameter of circle = 12 inches

Radius of circle :


= \tt(diameter)/(2)


= \tt(12)/(2)


= \tt6 \: inches

Thus, the radius of this circle = 6 inches

Circumference of this circle :


= \tt2\pi r


=\tt 2 * 3 * 6


= \tt36 \: inches

Thus, the circumference of this circle = 36 inches

The area of this circle :


= \tt\pi {r}^(2)


=\tt 3 * 6 * 6


= \tt108 \: {inches}^(2)

Thus, the area of this circle = 108 inches²

Therefore,

Radius = 6 inches

Diameter = 12 inches

Circumference = 36 inches

Area = 108 inches²
