What is the area of a circle if its circumferece is a?

Given that a circumference of a circle is
a.


We need to find the area of the circle as a function of
a.


==> We know that:


C=
2*pi * r = a


==> r= a/2pi
..............(1)


Now we will determine the area of a
circle formula.


==> A = r^2 *
pi


But r= a/2pi


==> A =
(a/2pi)^2 * pi


==> A = (a^2/4pi^2 *
pi


==> A = (a^2/4pi
)


Then the area of the circle is (a^2/4pi)
square units.
