Answer:
254.34 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that the shape is a circle,
area of circle= πr², where r= radius.
Given that the diameter is 18 in,
radius= diameter ÷2
radius= 18 ÷2
radius= 9 in
Let's substitute r= 9 and use 3.14 as the value of π:
Area of circle
= 3.14(9²)
= 3.14(81)
= 254.34 in²
