04 Area of Circular Fields
To find the area of a circle, multiply the radius of the circle (the distance from the center to the edge) by
the radius of the circle by 3.14 (π). Yes, that is right — you want to multiple the radius of the circle by
itself. The diameter is the distance from one edge of a circle, through the center point, to the opposite
edge, or twice the radius.
