Here is a diagram that explains the area of a circle. The image shows the circle with its radius $r$ and the formula $A = \pi r^2$, which calculates the area.

If you have any questions or need further details, feel free to ask!

2. What is the area of a circle with a radius of 5 units?
3. How does the area change if the radius of a circle is doubled?
4. Can the area formula $A = \pi r^2$ be derived from the circumference formula?
5. What is the difference between the area of a circle and the area of a square?
6. How is the area of a sector of a circle calculated?
7. What is the significance of the constant $\pi$ in the area formula?
8. How do you calculate the area of an ellipse, which is a stretched circle?

Tip: When solving geometry problems, always keep track of the units used for measurements to avoid errors in calculations.
