For this case we have that by definition, the area of a circle is given by:
[tex]A = \pi * r ^ 2[/tex]
Where:
A: It is the radius of the circle.
If they tell us that the diameter is 17 inches, then the radius is 8.5 inches. Substituting:
[tex]A = \pi * (8.5) ^ 2\\A = 226,865[/tex]
If we round up, we have that the area is:
226.87 square inches
Answer:
Option C
