Hey there! I'm happy to help!

To find the area, we square the radius and multiply it by π.

We have the circumference. The circumference is the diameter multiplied by π. Since the circumference is 6π, the diameter is 6.

The radius half of the diameter, so it is 3.

Now, we find the area.

We square 3

3²=9

And we multiply by π, so our area is 9π inches squared.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Answer:

Area = Pi x Radius^2

Diameter = Circumference / Pi

= 6Pi / Pi

= 6

Radius = Diameter / 2

= 6 / 2

= 3

Area = Pi x 3^2

= 9Pi square units.
