Given that the diameter of the circle is 3 centimeters.

We need to determine the area of the circle.

Radius of the circle:

The radius of the circle is given by


r=(d)/(2)


r=(3)/(2)=1.5 \ cm

Thus, the radius of the circle is 1.5 cm

Area of the circle:

The area of the circle can be determined using the formula,


A=\pi r^2

Substituting
\pi=3.14 and
r=1.5, we get;


A=(3.14)(1.5)^2


A=7.1 \ cm^2

Thus, the area of the circle is 7.1 cm²
