The diameter of a circle is 1. What is the area of the circle ?

$$\small{\text{Diameter $\,d = 1 $}}$$   

$$\small{\text{Radius $\,r= \frac{d}{2} = \frac{1}{2} $}}$$

$$\small{\text{Area $\,A=\pi\cdot r^2 $}}\\
\small{\text{$A=\pi\cdot \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{1}{2}$}}\\
\small{\text{$A=\frac{\pi}{4}$}}\\
\small{\text{$A=\frac{3.14159265359}{4}$}}\\
\small{\text{$A=0.78539816340$}}
$}}$$

The formula for the area of a circle is $${\mathtt{A}} = {\mathtt{\pi}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{{\mathtt{r}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}$$ (r = radius)

The diameter of a circle is twice the radius. 

So $${\mathtt{A}} = {\mathtt{\pi}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\left({\mathtt{0.5}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{D}}\right)}^{{\mathtt{2}}}$$

$${\mathtt{A}} = {\mathtt{\pi}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\left({\mathtt{0.5}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{1}}\right)}^{{\mathtt{2}}}$$

$${\mathtt{A}} = {\mathtt{\pi}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{{\mathtt{0.5}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}$$

$${\mathtt{A}} = {\mathtt{\pi}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{0.25}}$$

$${\mathtt{A}} = {\mathtt{0.785}}$$ square units (3 d.c.p.)

Yea, why not, I'll have it.  Like you said, we don't want to waste it.   

 

Imagine how fat you would be if your mum told you, you had to eat it all!  I suppose it woud delay your homework for all eternity   :D
