A circle in plane geometry is DEFINED as the set of all points that are at a fixed distance from a stated center point.
As such, it's a uniformly curved 'line' and its length is defined as Circumference.
The area of a circle has a well known formula; it should be known as Area of circular disk, or interior area of a circle, = pi(r2).
Diameter is the largest possible chord of a circle, equal to twice the radius, r.
Pi is defined as the ratio of any circle's Circumference to its Diameter; ALL CIRCLES ARE SIMILAR.
Pi is about 3.14159265... and is not rational, and CERTAINLY SHOULD NEVER BE APPROXIMATED BY 22/7 in this age of calculators.
