Circumference = 219.91 cm
Area = #3848.45 cm^2#

Explanation:

The circumference of a circle can be obtained by using the equation below:

http://www.wikihow.com/Calculate-the-Circumference-of-a-Circle

where the mathematical constant, #pi#, has a value of approximately 3.14 and #r# represents the radius of the circle.

All we have to do is multiply the given diameter by #pi# to determine C:

#"Circumference" = 70cm xx pi#
#"Circumference" = 219.91 cm#

The area can be computed by using the following equation:

This equation requires that we have a radius instead of a diameter, but that's no problem since the radius is half of the diameter. Therefore, the radius is #1/2(70cm)# or just 35 cm.

The area is: #pixx(35cm)^2# = #3,848.45cm^2#
