For this case we must find the area of the cookie, knowing that it has a circular shape. By definition, the area of a circle is given by:


A = \pi * r ^ 2

Where:

r: It is the radius of the circle

According to the data we have:


r = \frac {2} {2} = 1 \ in

Thus, the area of the cookie is:


A = \pi * (1) ^ 1

We have
\pi = 3.14


A = 3.14 * 1\\A = 3.14

We round:


A = 3.1

Thus, the area of the cookie is
3.1 \ in ^ 2

Answer:


3.1 \ in ^ 2
