Answer:

12.6 cm²

Explanation:

From the above question, the magnet is circular in shape

The area of a circle is given as:

= πr²

The area of the magnet = π × r²

Diameter = 4cm

r = Diameter/2 = 4cm/2 = 2cm

= π × (2cm)²

= 12.566370614cm²

Approximately = 12.6 cm²

The area of the magnet = 12.6cm²
