Question

Identify the area of ⊙P in terms of π.

Please give a step-by-step explanation..

Answer 1

36π cm²

Explanation:

The formula of the area of a circle is A=π*r².

Having this, we can find the area of the circle P. The diameter of the circle is 12 cm, so the radius is half of the diameter, so the radius is 6 cm. Then we apply the formula.

`A=\pi *r^(2) \\A=\pi *6^2\\A=\pi *36\\A=36*\pi  cm ^2`
