To find the area of the circle:

⇒ must know the area's formula ⇒
\pi r^2

  • r --> length of radius

Let's consider the information given

  • diameter's length is 7 in

⇒ the radius' length is half of the diameter

⇒ thus the radius' length is 3.5 in

Let's calculate the area:


Area=\pi r^2=\pi (3.5^2)=12.25\pi in^2

The problem asks us to leave the answer in terms of '
\pi' which means that we won't multiply '
\pi' to the final answer, but leave it there,

Answer: 12.25
\pi in^2 or Choice (B)

Hope that helps!
