Ineed with area of a circle a circular plate has a diameter of 6 inches. what is the exact area of the plate? a.3_ square inches b.6_ square inches c.36_ square inches d.9_ square inches

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area formula for a circle is .

If the diameter is given, we take half of it to find the radius measure.  If d = 6, then r = 3.  Therefore, our formula can be filled in as

or .  That is the exact area.  The approximate area is found by multiplying in 3.1415 as pi to give you that the area is approximately 28.27 square inches.  I think you meant to put pi in those answer choices instead of an underscore, so it's my belief that D. is supposed to reflect the answer of square inches.  I'm going with D.
