if a circle had a radius of 1, would the area be 1/4 pi?

No, the area of a circle with a radius of 1 is actually π (pi) square units.

The formula to calculate the area of a circle is:

A = πr²

Substituting the radius (r) as 1 into the formula, you would get:

A = π(1)²
A = π(1)
A = π

Therefore, if a circle had a radius of 1, the area would be π (pi), which is approximately 3.14159.
