As the micrometer measures the DIAMETER of the rod... you read the value of the micrometer to be 3.81 mm. to find the cross sectional area of the rod.. you have to divide 3.81 by 2 = 1.905 mm (radius) ... we know we can find the area of something using [(pi)x(r)^2] so the cross sectional area equals (pi x 1.905^2) which then equals 11.4 mm^2 which is B!
