The formula in finding the Area of a Circle:

A = π x r x r or A= πr2

Let us solve the problem.

Example 1: The diameter of a tambourine is 10 inches. Find the area of its surface.
a. What is asked? The area of the surface of tambourine.
b. Given : 10 inches-diameter of a tambourine

c. Solution: In solving for the area of a circle, we need to find out the measure of its
radius (r). Since in this problem, we are given the diameter, we will divide 10 by
2 (diameter = 2 radius). So, 10 ÷ 2 = 5. We have 5 as our radius.
Area = πr2
A= 3.14 (5 in) 2
A= 3.14 (5in) (5in)
A= 3.14( 25 in2)
A= 78.5 in2
d. Final Answer: The area of the surface of the tambourine is 78.5 inches2.
