Answer
The area of the circle is [tex]36\pi[/tex] inches squared.
Explanation
The formula for the area of a circle is [tex]\pi r^{2}[/tex]. You are already given the radius (which is 6) so all you have to do is substitute the 6 for 'r' and solve the equation.
After substituting 6 for 'r' you get [tex]\pi 6^{2}[/tex].
According to PEMDAS, you have to solve 6 to the power of 2 first. 6 to the power of 2 is 36.
So the area of the circle is [tex]36\pi[/tex] inches squared.
If you would like to completely solve for the area, you can multiply 36 by 3.14. 36 times 3.14 equals 113.04. Note that this is not the exact answer, because [tex]\pi[/tex] is a never ending number, meaning if you multiplied both numbers, you product would also be a never ending number.
So the area of the circle is [tex]36\pi[/tex] or about [tex]113.04[/tex] inches squared.
