Depends on what level of math you're on, the most simple of ways to explain is this: If you were to divide the circle into many pieces using the radius, let's say eight pieces. You then rearrange them into a parallelogram and each base is half of the circumference. The height of it is the radius, and using the method to find a parallelogram, BxH=A.
