    Area of circle and stuff I am sooo confused about. Not really in any of the courses I've taken, but I've seen it and I'm confused.

      Hi @The-Darkin-Blade!
      Nice to hear from you again!
      The area of circle is a veeery big topic for a small forum post. There are lots of articles about the formula of a circle's area and other things related to this topic! Hundreds! Even thousands!
      Your confusion is normal 🙂
      To learn more about it, you can start from here, or find more advanced information here.

      You can also imagine that a circle is a regular polygon with lots and lots of vertices (actually, infinitely many vertices). To find the area of a regular polygon, you cut it into isosceles triangles (see picture) and then sum up their areas. So the area of a polygon is equal to n×(12ah)=h2×(na),n\times(\frac{1}{2}ah)=\frac{h}{2}\times(na),n×(21​ah)=2h​×(na), where nnn - number of vertices, aaa - side length and hhh - distance from the center of polygon to its side. The term nanana is the perimeter of the polygon. As the polygon becomes more and more like a circle, this value approaches the value of the circle's circumference, which is 2πr,2\pi r,2πr, and value of hhh approaches the circle radius. So, substituting 2πr2\pi r2πr instead of na,na,na, we get: area of circle=r2×(2πr)=πr2.\text{area of circle}=\frac{r}{2}\times(2\pi r)=\pi r^2.area of circle=2r​×(2πr)=πr2.

      Studying this in more detail and discovering lots of new and very interesting things will be easier as you get older and study higher-level topics like functions, derivatives, integrals, and many other things. 😉
