Question 563205
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


So what is 3/4 inch?  The radius?  The diameter?  The circumference?


The area of a circle is given by


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ A\ =\ \pi{r}^2]


Where *[tex \Large r] is the radius.  If instead you have the diameter, then *[tex \Large r\ =\ \frac{d}{2}].  If instead you have the circumference, then *[tex \Large r\ =\ \frac{C}{2\pi}]


By the way, "pie" is generally considered to be a food item, with one or more more or less flaky pastry crusts and containing some sort of filling.  Pies served for dessert generally contain some sort of sweet filling, such as a prepared mixture of fruit and sugar, or perhaps some sort of sweet pudding-like substance.  Pies served as either side or main dishes generally have some sort of savory filling that primarily features some sort of meat.  "pi" is the generally accepted romanization of the lower case Greek alphabetic character *[tex \Large \pi] that, in a mathematics context, is recognized to stand for the trancendental irrational constant that is the ratio between the diameter and the radius of a circle.
