The area \( A \) of a circle can be calculated using the formula:
\[ A = \pi r^2 \]
where \( r \) is the radius of the circle. Given that the radius \( r \) is 14 cm, we can substitute that value into the formula:
\[ A = \pi (14)^2 \]
Calculating \( 14^2 \):
\[ 14^2 = 196 \]
Now, substituting back into the area formula:
\[ A = \pi \cdot 196 \]
Therefore, the area of the circle in terms of \( \pi \) is:
\[ A = 196\pi \text{ cm}^2 \]
