Hi student, let me help you out! :)

First of all, let's find the area of the circle with the help of the formula
, where A=area, π=pi, 3.14, and r=radius; the 2 above the radius tells us to multiply the radius times itself.
Now we realise we have a slight problem here. We have the diameter and not the radius!
No need to panic. We can divide the diameter by 2 and find the radius:
. Now we substitute 4 for the radius and solve for area:
. Square the radius first:
. Now recall that pi is 3.14:
. So the area is
.
Hope it helped you out, ask in comments if any queries arise.
