For a circle the circumference can be expressed in terms
of its radius as 2*pi*r
The area of a circle can be
expressed in terms of its radius as pi*r^2
Now we have C=
2*pi*r and A = pi*r^2
From C= 2*pi*r we can derive r = C /
(pi*2) by dividing both sides by pi*2.
And from A = pi*r^2
we can derive r= sqrt ( A / pi).
Now equate both the
expressions we have for r
=> C / (pi*2) = sqrt ( A /
pi)
Square both the
sides:
=> C^2/ (pi*2)^2 = A /
pi
=> A = (C^2 * pi) / ( pi^2 * 2^2
)
=> A = C^2/ pi*
2^2
=> A = C^2 /
4*pi
Therefore we have Area = C^2 / 4*
pi
