can't think of a way.
Do you have trouble with the area of a rectangle or a triangle?
Those are just as complicated.
There are geometric justifications for the circular formulas, but if you can't handle the simple formulas, I don't think you'd be happy with the concepts involving their derivation.
Maybe you could try google -- why is the circumference 2 pi r? or something.
i need some help understanding the formulas for finding the are for a circle and finding the Circumference.
and the formula they give me i still don't understand can you guys help me understand the easier way to look at the formula?

Im kinda understanding it so to find the circumference we multiply the diameter by 2?
No.
C = pi * 2 * r
C = pi * 2 * r
or, just C=πd, where d is the diameter
I'm learning this currently. Circuference=2 times 3.14 times the radius. The raidius is 2 times less than the diameter. Radius=diameter divided by 2.
Area=3.14 times the radius squared. So it would look like this for area: A=3.14(radius times radius). There you go!
