A circular lid has a diameter of 12 inches.


What is the exact area of the lid?


A.

6π square inches


B.

12π square inches


C.

24π square inches


D.

36π square inches

Verified Answer :

if, for the problem, the lid is 2D, then the area is (pi)(r)^2. So, 12//2=6; 6^2=36; 36(pi). FINAL ANSWER: D

D= diameter
R=½D
R=½12
R=6


formula = π
r²
=π•6²
=36π
