Answer:

154 inches squared.

Explanation:

Formula for area of a circle:
$\pi$
r^2 .

The radius of a circle is half it's diameter, so the radius of the circular plate would be 14/2 inches.

Substituting the values into the formula (using 3.14 for
$\pi \\$ ) we get:
3.14(7^2) .

This is equal to 153.86, and rounded to the nearest whole number the answer is 154.
