Explanation:

The formula for the area of a circle is pi x radius squared. So since we know the diameter we can take that and half it giving us radius. Than we plug radius in the formula, so 6.5 squared is 42.25. You than multiply it by pi, and not 3.14 because theirs a possibility of being a couple units off when rounding, and after multiplying it you'll be left with the answer of 132.73

Answer: 132.73
