Patricia makes circular placemats. If the radius of the placemat is 6 in, what is the area of the placemat?
The area of a circular placemat is calculated using the formula A = πr^2, where A is the area and r is the radius.
Plugging in the given value, we have A = π * 6^2 = π * 36 = 36π.
Therefore, the area of the circular placemat is 36π square inches.
