A circular pond has a radius of 15cm calculate the area of the pond

The area ($A$) of a circle is given by the formula:

$$A = \pi r^2$$

where $r$ is the radius of the circle.

The radius of the pond is $r = 15 \text{ cm}$.

$$A = \pi (15 \text{ cm})^2$$

$$A = \pi (15 \times 15) \text{ cm}^2$$ $$A = \pi (225) \text{ cm}^2$$ $$A = 225\pi \text{ cm}^2$$

The area of the pond is $225\pi \text{ cm}^2$.
