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

Plugging in the given diameter of 162 mils:

Area = π * (162/2)^2
= π * (81)^2
= π * 6561
≈ 20564.35

Therefore, the area of the wire is approximately 20564.35 circular mils.
