The formula for the area of a circle is:
A = πr^2
where A is the area and r is the radius.
In this case, the radius is 9 millimeters. We can substitute this value into the formula and use 3.14 or 22/7 for π:
A = 3.14 x 9^2
A = 3.14 x 81
A ≈ 254.34 mm²
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the area of the circle is about 254.3 mm².
