If C=12π, what is the area of the circle? (1 point) Responses 24π 24 pi 12π 12 pi 36π 36 pi 144π 144 pi
The formula to calculate the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where A is the area and r is the radius. Since the circumference C is given as 12π, we can use the formula for circumference of a circle, C = 2πr, to solve for the radius r.
12π = 2πr
r = 6
Now that we have the radius, we can calculate the area:
A = π(6)^2
A = 36π
Therefore, the area of the circle is 36π.
