Respuesta :

we are asked to determine the area of a circle with a diameter of 6 cm. To do that we will use the following formula for the area of a circle:

[tex]A=\frac{\pi D^2}{4}[/tex]

Replacing the value of the radius:

[tex]A=\frac{\pi(6\operatorname{cm})^2}{4}[/tex]

Replacing the value of pi:

[tex]A=\frac{3.14(6\operatorname{cm})^2}{4}[/tex]

Solving the operations:

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{3.14(36cm^2)}{4} \\ \\ A=3.14(9cm^2)=28.26cm^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
