If the circumference of a circle is 9.42 what is its area?

C = 2 pi R = 9.42 R = 9.42 / (2 pi) A = pi R2 = pi [ 9.42 / (2 pi) ]2 = (9.42)2 pi / 4 pi2 = (9.42)2 / (4 pi) = 7.0614 (rounded) ======================================== I just thought of something: C = 2 pi R A = pi R2 = 1/2 (2 pi R) x (R) = 1/2 (2 pi R) x (1/2pi) (2 pi R) = C/2 x C/(2 pi) = C2 / (4 pi)Let's see if this gives the same answer as above: C2 / (4 pi) = (9.42)2 / (4 pi) = 7.0614 Yay ! Next time, I'll remember that the area is (circumference2) divided by (4 pi).
