The area of a circle is calculated by multiplying pi by the radius to the second power (assume pi = 3.14).
A= 3.14 * r^2
Since you are only given the circumference, we can determine the radius using the circumference (C):
C = 3.14 * 2 * r
18.84 = 3.14 * 2 * r
18.84 = 6.28 * r
3 units = r
The radius is 3 units.
Now we can find the area:
A = 3.14 * r^2
A = 3.14 * 3^2
A = 3.14 * 9
A =28.26 square units
