Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area formula for a circle is [tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex].
If the diameter is given, we take half of it to find the radius measure. If d = 6, then r = 3. Therefore, our formula can be filled in as
[tex]A=\pi (3)^2[/tex] or [tex]A=9\pi[/tex]. That is the exact area. The approximate area is found by multiplying in 3.1415 as pi to give you that the area is approximately 28.27 square inches. I think you meant to put pi in those answer choices instead of an underscore, so it's my belief that D. is supposed to reflect the answer of [tex]9\pi[/tex] square inches. I'm going with D.
