You cannot really compare those two different kinds of values - it's quite nonsense to compare area versus circumference.

You could compare numbers but they'll vary depending on your choice of units.

Anyway, it's perfectly possible to have shape of area, say, 1 m2 and circumference measured in kilometers - if the shapes perimeter is ragged.

Yea

I disagree. to the answer above.

equations for solution are:

Circumference = 'pi' X 'diameter', or 'pi' x '2' x 'radius'

Area of a circle = 'pi' x 'radius^2'

example -> radius = 5

then,

circumference = '2' x '5' or '10'

and,

area = 'pi' x '5^2' or '25pi'

no because the circumference is half the diameter the circumference it may not be bigger than the diameter because the circumference is measure out side the circle and the diameter is measure inside the circle. the only one that can be bigger is the diameter can be bigger than the radius.It can be bigger 2 times.

No, the diameter of a circle cannot be bigger than its circumference. The circumference is always equal to π times the diameter in a circle.
