Step 1: Measure or record the diameter.
Step 2: Divide the diameter in half.
NOTE: Remember that the diameter is equal to double the radius.
d = 2r
r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{20}{2}
Step 3: Substitute the radius in the area of the circle formula.
NOTE: Area of the circle = \pi r^2
Step 4: Square the radius and multiply by \pi.
EXAMPLE: Radius r = 14, then
A = \pi 14^2
A = \frac{22}{7} * 196 ( since \pi = \frac{22}{7} =3.14)
A = 615.44 cm^2
