The symbol is Ï called pi and is approximately equal to 22/7 or 3.141592654 , most high school teachers use it to two decimal places as 3.14
Ï is the ratio between the circumference and the diameter of a circle ..i.e
Ï = (circumference / diameter ).
Interestingly the value of Ï is the same for any circle ...
Area of circle = Ï x ( radius x radius ) = Ï radius2
if the Radius = R
then
Area of circle = Ï R2 = Ï x R x R

The Area Of a Circle
[1] Finding the Area of a circle given the radius of the circle..
Definition : The radius of a circle is a straight-line drawn from the center of the circle to any point on its circumference .
The symbol p is called pi and is approximately equal to 22/7 or 3.141592654 , most high school teachers use it to two decimal places as 3.14
p is the ratio between the circumference and the diameter of a circle ..i.e
p = (circumference / diameter ).
Interestingly the value of p is the same for any circle ...
Area of circle = p x ( radius x radius ) = p radius2
if the Radius = R
then
Area of circle = pR2 = p x R x R
EXAMPLE (1) Find the area of the circle with radius 10 cm ..use p as 3.14
Answer
Here we have :
Radius = 10 cm
p = 3.14
Using the formula Area of circle = p radius2 = p x radius x radius
replacing radius with 10 cm and p with 3.14 in above formula we have
Area of circle = p radius2 = p x radius x radius = 3.14 x 10cm x 10cm = 3.14 x 100 cm2 = 314 cm2
[2] Finding the Area of a circle given the Diameter of the circle..
Definition : The diameter of a circle is a straight-line passing through the center of the circle touching the circumference of the circle at any two points..
Look at the figures immediately above , look at the half way mark of diameter (center of circle) in figure(3) do you see 2 radi (radi is the plural of radius)..,If you take the radius (R) in figure(1) and the radius (R) in figure(2) and put them together ,without any over-lapping ,they will form the diameter of as shown in figure(3)..(Note : all of the cirles above are of the same size.)
Hence ,
The diameter = radius + radius = 2 radi.
Let R = radius
so that
diameter = 2R
or , 2R = diameter
dividing both sides by 2 , solving for R
gives ;
R = (diameter)/2
so, radius = (diameter)/2
To find the area of a circle given its diameter :
Step [1] - find the radius by dividing the diameter by 2 ,i.e radius = diameter/2
Step[2] - now that you have found the radius (in step [1] ) use the formula above
( Area of circle = p radius2 = p x radius x radius )
and you are done..
Alternatively you can use the diameter directly, with the formula derived below
We have shown above that
radius = (diameter)/2
since radius = (diameter)/2 ,we can replace radius with (diameter)/2 in the formula ,
Area of circle = p radius2 = p x radius x radius
which gives :
Area of circle = p radius2 = p x radius x radius = p x (diameter/2) X (diameter/2)
i.e :
Area of circle = (p x diameter2)/4
= (p x diameter x diameter ) / 4

the part within its line. it may be figured with the math formula
Pi ( 3.14 X the distance from the middle to the outside line, times itself ( squared) this is approximate.}
the old joke is: PI R Square ( no pie are round, cornbread are square)
