Question

The diameter is 12 inches. What is the area? What do I do to solve it please help!

Answer 1

113.04 sq. in.

Explanation:

If the diameter of the circle is 12", then the radius is 6" (half the diameter), and the area "A" is (approximately) 3.14 * 6^2. The calculation is approximate because 3.14 is a rounded value for pi.

Answer 2

The area of the circle is 113.04in²

Explanation:

radius = half of diameter

d = 12 in

r = 12in / 2 = 6in

To solve this problem we need to use the area formula of a circle:

a = area

r = radius = 6in

π = 3.14

a = π * r²

we replace with the known values

a = 3.14 * (6in)²

a = 3.14 * 36in²

a = 113.04in²

The area of the circle is 113.04in²
