Yes.

Explanation:

As the diameter of the circle increases, both the area and the circumference of the circle get larger.

Take, for example, a circle with a diameter of #6#, that increases to become a diameter of #7#:

#"Diameter"# #color(white)"xxxx"##"Area"#

#color(white)"xxx"6##color(white)"xxxxxxxx"9pi#

#color(white)"xxx"7##color(white)"xxxxxxxx"12.25pi#

Just increasing the diameter by 1 digit makes the area greater. So yes, as the diameter increases, the area increases.

#color(blue)("Yes")#

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a circle is given by:

#A=pir^2#

Where #r# is the radius, and #pi# is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.

Let #D="diameter"# and #r="radius"#

Since the radius is half the diameter, the radius is:

#D/2#

If the diameter increases by a factor #bba#

Then the radius increases by a factor:

#a/2#

And the area increases by a factor:

#(a/2)^2=a^2/4#
