Question

What is the area of the circle?

Answer 1

Circumference is found by multiplying the diameter by PI,

so a circumference of 6PI means the diameter is 6 inches.

Area is found using the formula PI x r^2

r = 1/2 the diameter

r = 6/2 = 3

The area becomes 3^2 x PI = 9PI inches.

The answer is C.
