Answers:
area = 50.24 square yards
circumference = 25.12 yards
values are approximate
================================================
Work Shown:
d = 8 is the diameter
r = 4 is the radius, half the diameter
pi = 3.14 approximately
C = 2*pi*r = circumference
C = 2*3.14*4
C = 25.12 yards is the circumference. The circumference is the distance around the circle, aka the perimeter
An alternative formula you can use is C = pi*d
-------------------
A = area of circle
A = pi*r^2
A = 3.14*4^2
A = 50.24 square yards is the area
