We know that the formula to find the area of a circle is πr^2 or in other words, pi times the radius squared. We have been given the diamter of 25 inches. We know that the diamater is double the radius. 25 divided by 2 will get us 12.5. If we write this in equation form (or substitute the variables) will be written as: (3.14)12.5^2, 3.14 being pi. Now, we would multiply the radius by radius (because it's squared) or in other words, (12.5*12.5) to equal 156.25. If we write this in equation form, we would get: 3.14(156.25). Now we finally multiply pi (3.14) times 156.25 to equal 490.625 or rounded to the tenth 490.6
