If the area of a circle is pi/16, what is the diameter of the circle.
----------------
Area+=+pi%2Ar%5E2+=+pi%2F16
Diameter+=+2%2Ar

Area =A=pi%28r%5E2%29
pi%28r%5E2%29=pi%2F16 Divide each side by pi
r%5E2=1%2F16 Find the square root of each side.
r=1/4 and diameter=2r so:
diameter=2r=2(1/4)=(2/4)=1/2 ANSWER: The diameter of the circle is 1/2 unit
