what is the derivation for the formula of the area of a circle?i would like to know how it is derieved. pl help...

The area of the circle is a function of radius of that
circle.


A(r) = `pi` *r^2


We'll
calculate the derivative of the area, differentiating with respect to
r.


Since `pi` is a constant, we'll differentiate r^2, using
the derivative formula:


(x^n)' =
n*(x^(n-1))*(x)'


(x^n)' =
n*(x^(n-1))*1


(x^n)' =
n*(x^(n-1))


Comapring, we'll
get:


(r^2)' =
2*(r^(2-1))*(r)'


(r^2)' =
2*r


dA/dr = A'(r) = 2`pi` r (circumference of the
circle)


The requested derivative of the area
of circle is dA/dr = A'(r) = 2`pi` r.
