To find the area of a circle, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Area} = \pi r^2 \]

Where \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14, and \( r \) is the radius of the circle.

Given that the diameter of the circle is 82 mm, the radius \( r \) is half of the diameter:

\[ r = \frac{82 \text{ mm}}{2} = 41 \text{ mm} \]

Now, substitute the radius into the area formula:

\[ \text{Area} = 3.14 \times (41 \text{ mm})^2 \]

First, calculate \( (41 \text{ mm})^2 \):

\[ (41 \text{ mm})^2 = 1681 \text{ mm}^2 \]

Now plug this value into the area formula:

\[ \text{Area} = 3.14 \times 1681 \text{ mm}^2 \]

Now perform the multiplication:

\[ \text{Area} = 5267.34 \text{ mm}^2 \]

Finally, round to the nearest hundredth:

\[ \text{Area} \approx 5267.34 \text{ mm}^2 \]

Thus, the area of the circle is about 5267.34 mm².
