Answer:

You have 2 equations:

One for area: A = πr²

One for circumference: C = 2πr

If you are given the area, you plug the area in the area equation under A. You then divide both sides by pi (π) so you are left with r². You take A/π = r² and you square root both sides to get r.

When you get r (the radius) you can then plug r into C = 2πr. You solve (multiply all numbers together) and you have your final answer as the circumference.
