You misunderstand. 'The area of the diameter'. The diameter is a STRAIGHT LINE, it is NOT an area.
The question should read ' How do you find the area of a circle, knowing only the diameter?'
To answer the question
Remember the equation ;-
A = pi*r^2
Where
'A' is the area
'pi' ~ 3.14 (A constant)
'r' is the radius.
Now the radius is one half the diameter ; (r = d/2) or (d = 2r)
We can algebraically substitute
A = pi *(d/2)^2
So as an example , is the diameter is 20
Then
A = 3.14 ( 20/2)^2 (Remember ; do what's inside the brackets first)
A = 3.14 * 10^2
A = 3.14 * 100
A = 314.00
