Why do we multiply radius two times it self to get the area of a circle why not diameter?

It's simply because the area of a circle is defined as pi * r * r.

What is the diameter d of a circle of radius 13.8 cm?
The diameter is twice the radius (that is, multiply the radius times 2).
How do you find the circumference from the area?
Well, you find the area of a circle by multiplying (pi times radius2) or (pi times radius times radius). The radius is half of the diameter. The formula for the circumference is (pi times diameter). Multiply the radius times 2 to get the diameter. Multiply the diameter times pi.
What is the formula for diameter?
The diameter of a circle is twice its radius.
What is the circumference of the circle roundto the nearest whole number?
-- Multiply (pi) by (diameter of circle)OR-- Multiply (pi) by (2 times radius of circle)-- Then round the product to the nearest whole number.
Is a diameter the length of the radius multiplied by pi?
No, the diameter of a circle is two times the length of its radius. So, to find the diameter, you would multiply the radius by 2, not π.
What is the diameter d of a circle of radius 13.8 cm?
The diameter is twice the radius (that is, multiply the radius times 2).
How do you find out the circumfrance of a circle?
To find the circumfrance of a circle, you need to multiply 2 times pi, times the circle's radius. If you don't know what that is, you multiply two times pi, and pi equals 3.14, and then multiply that by the radius, which is the measurement of half the circl'e diameter. the diameter is the distance from one side of the circle, to the exact opposite. you measure this with a ruler. HALF the measurement of the diameter is the radius. Example---the diameter of a circle is 20 cm. half the diameter is 10 cm, which is the radius. Multiply 2 times pi[which equals 3.14], times the radius. Good luck!

How you find the diameter if you are given the radius?
What you would do is just multiply the radius by 2 because radius is 1/2 of the diameter.Example:A circle has a radius of 8 cm. What is the diameter?Just multiply 8 times 2 = 16The diameter of the circle is 16 cm.
How do you find area in a circle?
MULTIPLY THE DIAMETER TIMES PI(3.14) OR MULTIPLY THE RADIUS TIMES 2 TIMES PI(3.14).
How to find the circumference?
To find the circumference of a circle you multiply the diameter by pi (3.14), the diameter is two times the radius.
How do you find the diameter?
The diameter of a circle is the length of a straight line drawn through the center of the circle to its edges.Or, measure the circumference of the circle and divide by pi (3.14159).Or you can multiply the radius times twoTo get diameter you have to find the radius and then double it to get the diameter
How do you find the area of a circle when you are only given its perimeter?
The Perimeter of a circle is it's circumference. And the circumference is the diameter times pi. So to find the area, divide the circumference by pi, and get the diameter. Then divide the diameter by 2, to get the radius. Then multiply the radius times itself, and multiply that by pi.
What is diameter and radius?
the radius is a line from the middle of a circle to a point of the circle. the diameter is two times the radius.
What is the circumference of a 12 foot diameter circle?
Circumference= 37.68 feet. All you have to do is multiply the diameter by pi. Same with radius. Multiply the radius by two to get the diameter then do diameter times pi.(pi= 3.14 or 22 over 7.)
A circle has a radius of 12 in Find the diameter of the circle?
diameter is 2 times the radius 24
What is the formula for finding the diameter of a circle when the circumference is given?
C = pi d By algebraic rearrangement d = C / pi
