Answer:

36
\pi square units

Explanation:

The formula for the circumference of a circle is C = 2
\pir.

If the circumference is 12
\pi, then that means:

12
\pi = 2
\pir

After diving both sides by 2
\pi, you get 6 = r, meaning our radius is r.

The formula for the area of a circle is A =
\pi r^(2).

As we've now found the radius to be 6, the area is equal to:

A =
\pi (6)^(2)

After squaring 6, we get:

A =
36\pi

Therefore, the area of a circle that has a circumference of
12\pi is
36\pi square units.
