#~~254 "in"^2#

Explanation:

#C_"circle" = 2pir#

#56.52= 2pir#

#28.26=pir#

#r=28.26/pi~~8.995#

#A_"circle" = pir^2#

#A_"circle" = pi(8.995)^2~~254.19#

We can combine the formulas:

#C = 2pir#

#C/(2pi) = r#

#A = pi(C/(2pi))^2#

#A = piC^2/(4pi^2)#

Now we have a formula for the area of a circle of any given circumference:

#A = C^2/(4pi)#

#C=56.52#

#A = 56.52^2/(4pi) ~~254.19#
