The area of a circle can be calculated using the formula A = πr². For a circle with a diameter of 12 inches, the radius is 6 inches. So, the area is 113.1 square inches (rounded to one decimal place).

FAQs & Answers

  1. How do you find the area of a circle? Use the formula A = πr², where 'r' is the radius of the circle.
  2. What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 10 inches? The area can be calculated as A = π(5²) = 78.5 square inches.
  3. Why is the area of a circle calculated using π? π is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, which is fundamental in circle geometry.
  4. What is the radius of a circle with a diameter of 12 inches? The radius is half of the diameter, so the radius would be 6 inches.
