Answer:

Formula for the area of a circle;

A = π
r^(2)

Where 'π' represents pi(22/7 or 3.14), and 'r' stands for the radius being squared.

But, we are given a diameter instead of a radius.

So to find the radius of the diameter we must find 1/2(half) of the diameter:

Diameter/2 = Radius

Plug in what we know:

D/2 = R

8/2 = R

4 = R, 4 is our radius.

Now we use this radius in our formula;

A = π
r^(2)

A = 3.14(4^2) ← (The symbol ' ^ ' means to the power of.)

A = 3.14(16)

A = 50.24 centimetres is the area for this circle.
