Answer:
Let's first try to find the radius before finding the diameter because when you find the radius, you double it to get the diameter.
To find the radius, use the area for a circle formula and plug in the values you know so far, so the formula is;
A = π
What we know:
Plug that area in our equation:-
A = π
1,017 = 3.14
Solve for r;
÷3.14 ÷3.14
324(approximate) =
√324 = r
18 = r, the radius is around 18 square meters (do not mistake the unit for some other unit).
Therefore, your answer is C.
Another alternative way;
Plug in your options' numbers into the equation;
A = π
And by looking at the options, we can see the only number here being used is 18, so we use 18 in the formula for the area of a circle to check if it'll result in 1,017 as the area.
Also: Notice if it says diameter or radius when using this solution, you are looking for the radius first.
