Here you have a system of 2 equations and 2 unknowns. An easy way to solve this type is to isolate one of the variables.

12a + 2b = 8
2b = 8 - 12a
b =
b =  \frac{8 - 12a  }{2}
b = 4 - 6a

Now plug 4 - 6a into equation 1 to solve for a.

a + 5(4 - 6a) = 19

a + 20 - 30a = 19

-29a = -1

a = 1/29 (answer)

Now plug a into the equation for b

b= 4 - 6(1/29)

b= 110/29 (answer)

Area = πr². So you have the diameter which is 56 millimeters. And the radius (r) is half the diameter, so the radius would be 28 mm. Square 28 would be 784, multiplied by π would equal 2463.00864mm. Rounded to the nearest hundredth would be 2843.01mm².
