Answer:


r =(D)/(2)=(18mm)/(2)= 9mm

The area is given by:


A= \pi r^2

And replacing we got:


A=\pi (9mm)^2 =81\pi mm^2

So then we can conclude that the area of the coin is
81\pi mm^2

Explanation:

For this case we know that we have a coin with a diamter of
D =18mm, and by definition the radius is given by:


r =(D)/(2)=(18mm)/(2)= 9mm

The area is given by:


A= \pi r^2

And replacing we got:


A=\pi (9mm)^2 =81\pi mm^2

So then we can conclude that the area of the coin is
81\pi mm^2
