Answer:

3.14 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

the base of a candle is the shape of a circle

the area of the base can be determined by calculating the area of a circle

area of a circle = πr²

π= pi = 3.14

r = 2/2 = 1 inch

the diameter is the straight line that passes through the centre of a circle and touches the two edges of the circle.

A radius is half of the diameter

3.14 x 1² = 3.14 in²
