The area \( A \) of a circle can be calculated using the formula:

\[
A = \pi r^2
\]

where \( r \) is the radius of the circle. Given that the radius \( r = 6 \) inches, we can substitute this value into the formula:

\[
A = \pi (6)^2
\]
\[
A = \pi \times 36
\]
\[
A = 36\pi
\]

Therefore, the area of the circle is \( 36\pi \) square inches. If you want a numerical approximation, using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):

\[
A \approx 36 \times 3.14 \approx 113.04
\]

So, the area is approximately \( 113.04 \) square inches.
