Finding the area of a circle from the diameter
Test your understanding of finding the area of a circle from the diameter by practicing it! Work through the below exercises to use it in practice.
🎙️
Let's find the area of this circle with a diameter of 4
🎙️
We know that the radius is half the diameter, so it would be 2
🎙️
We also know that the area of a circle is Pi times the radius squared. So let's replace the 'R' in the equation with 2
🎙️
Solving for area, that's 4 times Pi
🎙️
Since Pi is about 3.14, 4 times Pi is about 12.56
