Answer 1

The area of a circle can be calculated using the formula A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle. Since the diameter is given in this case, we first need to find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2.

Given that the diameter is unknown in the diagram, we cannot determine the exact area of the wheel. Therefore, none of the provided options (A, B, C, D) are accurate.
