For a circle, the area is given by:
A+=+pi%2Ar%5E2 or, if you have the diameter, substitute r+=+d%2F2
A+=+pi%2A%28d%2F2%29%5E2 So now, if you substitute A+=+113.097 and solve for d, you get:
113.097+=+pi%28d%2F2%29%5E2 Then square the parentheses.
113.097+=+pi%2Ad%5E2%2F4 Multiply both sides by 4.
452.382+=+pi%2Ad%5E2 Divide both sides by pi.
452.382%2Fpi+=+d%5E2 Finally, take the square root of both sides.
sqrt%28452.382%2Fpi%29+=+d Evaluate this and you'll have your answer!
