One circular table has a diameter of 8 ft. and another circular table has a diameter of 12 ft. how much greater is the area of the larger table?

If the ratio of the lengths is a:b then the areas are in the ratio of the square of these, namely a2:b2
The lengths are in the ratio 8:12 ⇒ 2:3
Therefore the areas are in the ratio 22:32 ⇒ 4:9
So the area of the larger table is 9/4 = 21/4 = 2.25 times the area of the smaller table.

Does a circular pan with a diameter of 20 in have a greater area than a square pan 18 inches long?
No. Assuming just talking about the base area and not the total surface area as no height of the pans is given: radius = diameter/2 Area_circle = π x radius2 = π x (20 in/2)2 = 100π sq in ≈ 314 sq in Area_square = side2 = (18 in)2 = 324 sq in ⇒ square of 18 in has larger area than a circle of diameter 20 in.
What is the difference between greater than and greater than or equal to?
greater than means it will always be a larger number than said answer, like 2, meaning any number larger than two can be an answer.greater than or equal to means it it can be larger than two, but it can also be two.The same rules are for less than and less than or equal to.

What does pi actually represent?
Generally, Pi is used to represent the rate of change of the circumference of a circle as it's diameter increases. This can be shown using the equation [circumference = Pi * diameter], that is the circumference of a circle is always Pi times larger than it's diameter.
Is 23.67 cm greater than 237 cm?
Since the units are the same, look at the numbers. The larger numbers is the larger measurement. If you have trouble with that, the number with more digits (before the decimal point) is the larger number.
