Answer:
<h2>1/4</h2>Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a circle is given as πr² and its circumference is expressed as 2πr.
If the babylonians determined the area of a circle by taking it as equal to the square of the circle’s circumference then;
Area of circle = (circumference of a circle)²
πr² = (2πr)²
πr² = 4π²r²
Dividing both sides of the equation by πr² we have;
The value of π this yields is 1/4
