Final answer:
The formula for the area of a circle in terms of its circumference is A = (C²) / (4π), by substituting the expression for the radius r = C / (2π) into the area formula A = πr².
Step-by-step explanation:
The student has asked how to use the formula for the circumference of a circle to write a formula for the area of a circle in terms of its circumference. The formula for the circumference (C) of a circle is C = 2πr, where π (pi) is approximately 3.14159 and r is the radius of the circle.
To write the formula for the area (A) in terms of the circumference, we first solve the circumference formula for r: r = C / (2π). Then we substitute this expression for r into the formula for the area of a circle, which is A = πr². This gives us A = π (C / (2π))², simplifying, we get A = (C²) / (4π).
Thus, the formula for the area of a circle in terms of the circumference is A = (C²) / (4π).
