Answer:


2\sqrt{(A)/(\pi)} = a

Explanation:

I am assuming that you are referring to the diameter and area of a circle. If this is false, then please note that my answer is wrong.

Ok, we know that the area formula for a circle is A =
\pi r^(2), where r is the radius.

We also know that the diameter, a, is two times the radius. Thus,
a = 2r, which also means that
(1)/(2) a = r. This means that we can substitute the radius (r) with half the diameter (
(1)/(2)a) in the area formula equation:


A = \pi *((1)/(2) a)^(2)

Your question asks us to find the diameter, which means we must solve for, or isolate, the diameter (a):


A = \pi *((1)/(2) a)^(2)\\(A)/(\pi) =((1)/(2) a)^(2)\\(A)/(\pi) =(1)/(4) a^(2)\\(4A)/(\pi) = a^(2)\\\sqrt{(4A)/(\pi)} = a\\2\sqrt{(A)/(\pi)} = a
