Answer:
A = 1.77 units squared
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a circle is found using the formula [tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]. Here the circle has a diameter of 1.5 which is twice the radius. To find the radius divide the diameter in 2.
1.5/2 = 0.75
Substitute r = 0.75.
[tex]A = \pi r^2\\A = \pi (0.75)^2\\A = \pi (0.5625)\\A = 1.76625[/tex]
This rounds to 1.77.
