Step-by-step explanation

The area of a circular cookie is given by the following expression:


Area_{cookie\text{ cutter}}=\pi r^2

Where r = radius = 2.5 inches

Pluging in the terms into the expression:


Area_{cookie\text{ cutter}}=\pi *(2.5)^2

Computing the power:


Area_{cookie\text{ cutter}}=3.14*6.25

Multiplying numbers:


Area_{cookie\text{ cutter}}=19.625in^2

In conclusion, the area of the cookie is 19.625in^2
