Given the circumference of the circle is
12pi.
We need to find the area of the
circle.
We know that the area of a circle is given
by:
A = r^2 * pi such that r is the
radius.
Also, we know that the circumference is given
by:
C = 2*r * pi
But C =
12*pi
==> 2*r*pi =
12*pi
We will divide by
2pi.
==> r = 12pi/2pi =
6.
Then the radius is r= 6, we will substitute into
A.
==> A = r^2 * pi = 6^2 * pi =
36pi.
Then the area of the circle in terms of
pi is : A = 36pi square units.
