\textit{circumference of a circle}\\\\ C=2\pi r~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ C=53.38 \end{cases}\implies 53.38=2\pi r\implies \cfrac{53.38}{2\pi }=r\implies \cfrac{26.69}{\pi }=r \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \textit{area of a circle}\\\\ A=\pi r^2~\hspace{6em}A=\pi \left( \cfrac{26.69}{\pi } \right)^2\implies A=\cfrac{26.69^2}{\pi }\implies \stackrel{using~\pi =3.14}{A\approx 226.87}
