The expression for the area of circle with radius 'r' is :
[tex]\text{ Area of Circle=}\Pi(radius)^2,\text{ where }\Pi=3.14[/tex]In the given question we have radius = 3 inches
Substitute the value and simplify :
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Area of Circle=}\Pi(radius)^2 \\ \text{Area of Circle=}\Pi\times3^2 \\ \text{Area of Circle=}\Pi\times9 \\ \text{Area of Circle=9}\Pi inches^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer : B) Area of circle = 9 pie
