we have diameter=18 inches
so diameter= 2* radius
radius=18/2= 9
r=9
Area of a circle =
[tex]\pi \times r^{2} [/tex]
so Area=
[tex]\pi \times {9}^{2} \\ 81 \times \pi \\ [/tex]
Since we take pi as 3.14 we get area as= 81*3.14
Area= 254.34
rounding up to the nearest tenth
[tex]ans = 254.3 \: in^{2} [/tex]
Second answer
