Final answer:

The area of the Frisbee is approximately 113.04 square inches.


Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a Frisbee, we need to use the formula for the area of a circle, which is A = πr^2. Since the problem gives us the diameter (12 inches), we first need to find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2: r = 12/2 = 6 inches. Now we can substitute the radius into the formula: A = π(6)^2 = 36π square inches.

To calculate the actual area, we can use the approximation 3.14 for π: A ≈ 36 × 3.14 = 113.04 square inches. Therefore, the correct answer is option D, 113.04 sq. in.
