AB = sq.rt{(2-(-4))^2 +(1-1)^2} = 6 (diameter)
Area = pi*3*3 = 9*pi. (option C).

A. 3π

D. 12π
E. 36π

Value for y is the same (1), therefore we can look at the difference between the x values of A and B (-4+2=6).
This means, 6 is the difference between both points and the diameter of the circle (radius = 3).
Area of circle= $$3^2\pi=9\pi$$

Anwer: C
