The formula for the area of a circle is:

Area=π(Radius)2\text{Area} = \pi * \text{(Radius)}^{2}

The radius is the distance from the center of the circle to the edge:
radius
In this problem, the radius of the circle is 22

To find the area of the circle, square the radius:
22=42^{2} = 4
Now multiply by π\pi. The number π\pi is approximately equal to 3.14.
Area=π(Radius)2\text{Area} = \pi * \text{(Radius)}^{2}
Area=3.144\text{Area} = 3.14 * 4
Area=12.56\text{Area} = 12.56
