How to find the area of a circle using the circumference?
The circumference of a circle(C) = 2πr (where r denotes the radius of the circle) is the total boundary of the circle
The area of a circle(A) = πr² is the total space occupied by a circle
Answer: The area of a circle = C²/4π, where 'C' is the circumference of the circle
Let us see how we arrive at this equation
Explanation:
C = 2πr
⇒ C² = 4π²r²
⇒ C² = πr² × 4π = 4π × (A)
where, A = Area of the circle
⇒ Area of the circle(A) = C²/4π
Hence the area of the circle with circumference 'C' is C²/4π
