Answer:

The radius of the hubcap is half of its diameter, which is:

r = d/2 = 26/2 = 13 cm

The area of the hubcap, in square centimeters, is given by the formula:

A = πr²

Substituting the value of r, we get:

A = 3.14 x 13²

A = 3.14 x 169

A = 530.66

Therefore, the area of the hubcap is approximately 530.66 square centimeters.
