Answer: Yes

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Area of a circle = π r^2

Reamed hole area = π 0.278^2= 0.242794846

Pin Area: π ([9/32]/2)^2= 0.062126221

Diameter = 2 radius

Radius = diameter/2

Since

Hole Area > pin area

The pin will fit into the reamed hole.

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