The area enclosed by a circle is πr^2 while 12 and 18 are the diameters, right? The radius of a disc is half the diameter, so 6 and 9, respectively. 2π6^2 < 1π9

The area enclosed by a circle is πr^2 while 12 and 18 are the diameters, right? The radius of a disc is half the diameter, so 6 and 9, respectively. 2π6^2 < 1π9^2 ~~ 226.2 < 254.5. In other words the area is proportional to the square of the radius, not linearly proportional to the diameter in any way.
