The equation for the circumference of a circle is
c = 2 \pi r, where c=circumference and r=radius of the circle.

Since you know c = 34π, plug that into the equation for the circumference of the circle and solve for r, the radius:
c = 2πr
34
π = 2πr
34 = 2r
r = 17

The equation for the area of a circle is
A = \pi r^(2), where A=area of the circle and r=radius of the circle.

Since you know the radius = 17, plug that into the equation for the area of a circle to find the area:

A = \pi r^(2)\\ A = \pi (17)^(2) \\ A = 289 \pi

The area of your circle is 289π.
