Answer:
113.1 cm²
Explanation:
we are given the diameter of the circle (length is 12 cm), and the formula for the area of the circle, which is πr², where r is the radius
so first, we need to find the radius
the length of the radius is half the length of the diameter
so that means that r=d/2
r=d/2
r=12/2
r=6
therefore the length of the radius is 6
now square 6, which is the same as multiplying it by itself
6²=36
now, multiply the radius squared by π, which is often substituted for as 3.14 or 22/7
so if we were to do 22/7 for instance,
36*22/7≈113.14
round that to 113.1
there's your answer :)
Hope this helps!
