| Shape | Formula | Area |
|---|---|---|
| Circle | πr² | 78.54 |
| Square | a² | 25 |
Expert Tips
- Always use the exact value of π (3.14159) for accurate results.
- Remember that the radius is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on its edge.
- To find the diameter, use the formula d = 2r.
- To find the circumference, use the formula C = 2πr.
