Answer:


9\pi ft^2

Explanation:


\text {Formula for the area of a circle:}\\ A=\pi r^2

The diameter is given. The radius of a circle is half it's diameter.


6/2 = 3\\\text {Radius: } 3

Apply the Formula (using 3.14 for pi):


A=\pi(3)^2\\A=\pi(9)\\A = 9\pi

The answers are in exact form.

The circle's area should be
9\pi ft^2.

I do not see C or D's options, but choose the answer that is the closest to
9\pi.
