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.)

Yeah but I couldn't finish my whole slice. It seems a waste to waste infinate cake. Anyone else want it?
