Answer: (pi) (6 squared)

Explanation:

Hi, the base area of a cone is a circle, so, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Area of a circle: (pi) radius^2

The diameter (d) of a circle is equal to: 2 radius

So:

D = 2r

Replacing with the value given:

12 =2r

12/2=r

radius= 6 inches

Back with the Area formula:

A = (pi) 6^2

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
