How to find the area of a circle?

The cake is 12 inches in diameter. The cake top is circular.

Therefore, the area of a circle is as follows;

area of a circle = πr²

where

  • r = radius

Therefore,

r = diameter / 2

r = 12 / 2

r = 6 inches

Hence,

area of a circle = π × 6²

area of a circle = 36π

area of each sliced cake = 36π / 12  

area of each sliced cake = 3π  square inches
