Please allow me to use area of circle as = πd^2 / 4

Therefore πd^2 / 4 = 49π Cancel out π from both sides.

d^2 / 4 = 49 Cross Multiply

d^2 = 4*49

d^2 = 196 Take the square root of both sides

d = √196 Use your calculator

d = 14

Hence, diameter of the circle is 14 units.
Cheers.

A=πr^2.
49π=πr^2
49=r^2
7=r
d=2r
d=2(7)
d=14
