A circle *encloses* an area, and the "area of a circle" is the area it encloses, πr^2. A circle is a 1-dimensional curved line; it is a set of points equidistant from a given point (the center), with that distance being the radius of the circle. This means the inside of the circle is not part of the circle (it's called a disk if you include the inside points).

To find the area, multiply pi (π) by the radius squared (r^2), so you get πr^2.


Yes, it does.
