area is directly proportional to
\n" ); document.write( "the square of its radius.
\n" ); document.write( "A = kr^2
\n" ); document.write( "(k is the constant of proportionality)
\n" ); document.write( "12.566 = k 2^2
\n" ); document.write( " k = 12.566/4
\n" ); document.write( " k = 3.1415
\n" ); document.write( "Formula: A = 3.1415 r^2
\n" ); document.write( " 78.54 = 3.1415 r^2
\n" ); document.write( " 78.54/3.1415 = r^2
\n" ); document.write( " r^2 = 25
\n" ); document.write( " r = 5cm\r
