Answer:
The area of the circular plate is: " 63.59 in² " .

Note:
______________________________________________
diameter, "d" = 9 in. (given).
radius, "r" = "d/ 2 " = "(9 inches) / 2 " = 4.5 in.
______________________________________________
Area of a circle, "A" :
A = * r² ;
in which: "A = Area of circle ("plate"); in units of "square inches"; or "in² " ;
" = 3.14 " {approximation we shall use} ;
"r = radius = 4.5 in." ;
________________________________________________________
Plug in our known values to solve for the area, "A" :
A = (3.14) * (4.5 in)² ;
A = (3.14) * (4.5)² * (in²) ;
A = (3.14) * (4.5) * (4.5) * (in²) ;
A = 63.585 in² ; round to: " 63.59 in² " .
