Please type your subject in the School Subject box. Any other words, including obscure abbreviations, are likely to delay responses from a teacher who knows that subject well.
delta A = 2*[(delta C)/C]*Area
= A/74
(C is the circumference; A is the area)
= A/74
(C is the circumference; A is the area)
