C
3.1 in^2
To find the area of a circle, you use the formula A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle. Since the diameter is given, you first need to divide it by 2 to get the radius.
Radius = diameter/2 = 2/2 = 1 inch
Now plug the radius into the formula:
A = π(1)^2
A = 3.14 * 1
A = 3.14 in^2
