If a circle has a diameter of 24 inches, which expression gives its area in
square inches?

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of a circle is pi times radius squared.
The radius is half of the diameter, so 24/2 = 12
12^2 x pi
Answer:
[tex]12^2 \pi[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, the area of a circle,
[tex]A=\pi r^2[/tex]
Where,
r = radius of the circle,
Given,
Diameter of the circle = 24 inches,
So, the radius of the circle, r = [tex]\frac{Diameter}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{24}{2}[/tex] = 12 inches,
Thus, the area of the circle is,
[tex]A=12^2 \pi \text{ square inches}[/tex]
OPTION D is correct.
