Answer:

144π in²

Explanation:

The area of circle is:


\displaystyle{A = \pi r^2}

Where r is radius. Radius is given to be 12 inches. Therefore, substitute r = 12 in the formula:


\displaystyle{A = \pi \cdot 12^2}\\\\\displaystyle{A=144\pi}

Therefore, the area is 144π in²

Answer:


A=144\pi(in^(2) )

Explanation:

Let's refer to the formula of the area of a circle:


A=\pi r^(2), where r is the radius of the circle.

1. Substitute the value of the radius in the formula.


A=\pi (12in)^(2)

2. Simplify.


A=144\pi

3. Express the answer.


A=144\pi(in^(2) ).
