If C = 12π, what is the area of the circle? (1 point)
24π
12π
36π
144π
144π
The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle. Since C = 2πr, we can solve for r by dividing C by 2π:
r = C / 2π
r = 12π / 2π
r = 6
Now, we can plug the radius into the area formula:
A = π(6)^2
A = 36π
Therefore, the area of the circle is 36π.
