Answer:

Use formula:


Area of circle = \pi (radius)^2 =\pi (r)^2

Explanation:

We need to find about how to calculate the area of a circle.

And match with the given choices. Where given choices are:

Area of a circle is equal to the diameterdiameter

squaredradiusradius squared times diameterheightpiwidth.

I'm not sure what exactly you have typed as choices are not written in proper way.

But I can still answer that.

You just need to apply formula of the area of circle which is given by:


Area of circle = \pi (radius)^2 =\pi (r)^2

Hello!

The answer is:


Area_(circle)=\pi *radius^(2)

or


Area_(circle)=\pi *((diameter)/(2))^(2)

Why?

We can calculate the area of any circle using the following formula:


Area_(circle)=\pi *radius^(2)

Where,

π, is a constant used to calculate the area of the circle.

radius, is the distance from the center to any point of the circle.

Also, we have that:


radius=(diameter)/(2)

So, we can rewrite the equation by the following way:


Area_(circle)=\pi *((diameter)/(2))^(2)

Have a nice day!
