Question

find the area of the circle pictured above. round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary. \boxed{} \text{ in}^2

Explanation:

Step1: Find the radius

The diameter is 12 in, so radius $r = \frac{12}{2} = 6$ in.

Step2: Calculate the area

Area formula: $A = \pi r^2$. Substitute $r=6$: $A = \pi (6)^2 = 36\pi \approx 113.1$ in².

Answer:

113.1
