Area = Pi x Radius^2

Diameter = Circumference / Pi

                  = 6Pi / Pi

                  = 6

Radius = Diameter / 2

              = 6 / 2

              = 3

Area = Pi x 3^2

         = 9Pi  square units.

The equation between a circle's radius and its circumference is as followed:

Circumference=2πr, with r being the radius.

Plug 6π into the equation:

2πr=6π

2r=6

r=3

We obtained the radius of your circle, now use the equation between a circle's radius to its area:

Area=πr2

Plug r=3 into the equation

Area=π32

=9π

Q.E.D.
