Units = cm

Diameter is 30, find the area of the circle. 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the area of a circle we use the equation: 

.

In this question we are told that the diameter of the circle, meaning the radius is half of this.

To solve for the area, we just plug it into our equation: 

.

And because we are working with the area of a shape, our answer must have units that are squared, therefore: .
