suppose the circumference of a circle is 2 pi. What is the area?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
circumference of a circle is pi times the diameter
area of a circle is pi times the radius squared
in your example the circumference is 2 times pi so the diameter is 2 and the radius is 1, therefore
area of circle is pi times 1^2 = pi
