Answer:


12.25\pi {cm}^(2)

Explanation:

Given that,


\text{Circumference} =( 7\pi \: )cm

  • First, let us find the radius of the circle.
  • For that, we can use the formula which is use to find the circumference.
  • The formula to find the circumference of a circle is:


\text{Circumference} = 2\pi \: r

  • Let us make radius as the subject and find the value of r.


\text{Circumference} = 2\pi \: r \\ 7\pi = 2\pi \: r \\ \text{divide \: both \: sides \: by \: }2\pi \\ 3.5 \: cm = r

  • And now let us find the area of the circle.
  • The formula to find the area of a circle is:


\text{Area} = \pi {r}^(2) \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \text{Area} = \pi * 3.5 * 3.5 \\ \text{Area} = 12.25\pi {cm}^(2) \: \: \: \: \:
