I found:
r=4.2in.
d=8.4in

Explanation:

Remember that the area is: pir^2 so using your given value you get:
18pi=pir^2
rearranging:
r^2=18pi/pi=18
r=sqrt(18)=4.2in.
The diameter is twice this value; or:

d=2r=2xx4.2=8.4in

"Radius"=3sqrt2

"Diameter"=6sqrt2

Explanation:

We know that the area of the circle is 18pi. We need to find the radius and the diameter.

For that, we use the formula

color(BLUE)("Area of circle"=pir^2

Where r is the radius of the circle

So,

rarrpir^2=18pi

Divide both sides by pi

rarr(cancelpir^2)/cancelpi=(18cancelpi)/cancelpi

rarrr^2=18

Take the square root of both sides

rarrsqrtr^2=sqrt18

rarrr=sqrt(9^2)

color(purple)(rArrr=3sqrt2~~4.24

Now, we need to find the diameter

As the diameter is twice the radius,

color(darkviolet)(rArr"diameter"=2*3sqrt2=6sqrt2~~8.48
