The formula for the area of a circle is
.
To find the radius (r), divide the diameter of 4 inches by 2. The radius is 2 inches.
Plug this into your equation to get
, which can be simplified to 4π inches^2.
If you need your answer as a decimal, input 3.14 for
to get an equation of 4 * 3.14. Multiply to get a final answer of 12.56 inches^2.
