Divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius. Square the radius and multiply by . Leave your answer in terms of for an exact answer, or use a convenient approximation of to calculate a numeric approximation of the desired area. If you do a numeric approximation, round your answer to the nearest whole square measurement unit. The results of calculations based on measurements must never be reported to a greater precision than the least precise given measurement. Your diameter is measured to the nearest whole unit, so you must report to the nearest whole square unit.
