A wire that has a diameter of 162 mils has an area of circular mils.

To find the area of a wire with a diameter of 162 mils, we can use the formula for the area of a circle:

Area = π * (diameter/2)^2

In this case, the diameter is 162 mils. Plugging that into the formula, we get:

Area = π * (162/2)^2

Simplifying this, we have:

Area = π * (81)^2

Calculating the square of 81, we get:

Area = π * 6561

So, the area of the wire is 6561π circular mils.
