To determine the area of the circle that Jenny drew, we need to know the radius of the circle. However, since that information is not provided in the question, we can assume some common scenarios.
The area \( A \) of a circle is calculated using the formula:
\[
A = \pi r^2
\]
where \( r \) is the radius of the circle.
If we consider a commonly used radius, for example:
1. If the radius \( r \approx 2.5 \) inches, then:
\[
A \approx \pi (2.5)^2 \approx \pi \cdot 6.25 \approx 19.63 \text{ in}^2 \quad (\text{approximately close to } 19.625 \text{ in}^2)
\]
2. If the radius would be around 1.57 inches, then:
\[
A \approx \pi (1.57)^2 \approx \pi \cdot 2.4649 \approx 7.74 \text{ in}^2 \quad (\text{close to } 7.85 \text{ in}^2)
\]
Without the specific radius from Jenny's drawing, we can estimate based on standard measurements. If the bowl is of average size, a radius of approximately 2.5 inches can be reasonable, resulting in an area closest to \( 19.625 \text{ in}^2 \).
Therefore, based on these calculations, the answer that is closest to the area of the circle that Jenny drew would be:
**D. 19.625 in²**.
