Answer:


36\pi in^2

Explanation:

1. The formula for the area of a circle is
A=\pi r^2

2. You are already given the radius. (r)

3. Plug the radius into the equation. You should get
A=\pi (6)^2

4. Leave in terms of pi, so (6)^2 is 36. (6x6)

5. This leaves you with
36\pi in^2

** units are important. Don't forget them (inches)
