find the area of the cirlce

24cm

The area of a circle is calculated using the formula A = πr^2, where r is the radius of the circle.

If the diameter of the circle is 24 cm, then the radius (r) is half of the diameter, so r = 24/2 = 12 cm.

Therefore, the area of the circle is A = π(12)^2 = π(144) = 144π.

Approximately, the area is equal to 452.39 square cm.
