Answer:

diameter = 3.385137501

Explanation:

Step 1: Find the radius (r):

The formula for the area of a circle is given by:

A = πr^2, where:

  • A is the area in square units,
  • and r is the radius.

A = πr^2

Now, we can substitute 9 for A to find the radius (r):

(9 = π(r)^2) / π

√(9/π) = √(r^2)

3 / √π = r

1.692568751 = r

Thus, the radius is 1.692568751

Step 2: Multiply r by 2 to find the diameter (d):

Now, we can find the diameter (d) by multiplying the radius by 2:

d = 2(1.692568751)

d = 3.385137501

Thus, the diameter is 3.385137501.

Note that we can represent the diameter in three ways:

  • If you prefer the exact answer with decimals, you can use diameter = 3.385137501.
  • If you prefer an approximate answer, round to as many places as you see feet like 3.4 inches if to the nearest tenth, 3.39 inches if to the nearest hundredth, etc.
  • If you prefer an exact answer without decimals, you can use diameter = 6 / √π inches, which works since 3 / √π is the radius and 2(3 / √π) = 6 / √π.
