First, we find the diameter.
12.56 divided by 3.14 = 4.
Next, find the radius.
4 divided by 2 = 2.
Then, use the formula to calculate the area.
2 times 2 times 3.14 = 12.56 is your area.
In this case, the area and the circumference are the same. Sometimes that is not that case though. Hope it helps! :)
