When lashone won a contest she got a silver medal with a diameter of 6 centimeters. What is the medals area?
A = pi * r^2
A = 3.14 * 3^2
A = 3.14 * 9
A = 28.26 square centimeters

To find the area of the silver medal, we need to calculate the area of a circle. The formula for the area of a circle is A = π * r^2, where A is the area and r is the radius of the circle.
In this case, we are given the diameter of the medal, which is 6 centimeters. The radius, which is half the diameter, would therefore be 3 centimeters.
Now, let's substitute the value of the radius into the formula:
A = π * (3 cm)^2
To find the area of the medal, we need to know the value of π, which is approximately 3.14159.
A = π * (3 cm)^2
= 3.14159 * 3 cm^2
= 9.42478 cm^2
Therefore, the area of the silver medal is approximately 9.42478 square centimeters.
