D. 9pi square inches
The formula for the area of a circle is <span>π x r^2
Since the diameter is 6, the radius (r) is 3
3^2 = 9
This times pi will give you the area of the plate

I = PRT.....rearrange.....P = I / RT
P = 51 / (0.0425* 2).....I used 2 because 24 months = 2 yrs
P = 51 / 0.085
P = 600 <===
Answer: 19.2 inches would be the most reasonable answer, since the first two is too small, and the last answer would be too tall.
if there was 2 feet of water, it would be 24 inches full. taking 1 gallon out, wouldn't make the difference to make it go up or down much.
