Uh, are you saying the area of a circle is πr2?

Yes, that is the common equation.

More commonly, 'Z' (as you have called it) is given the letter 'r' for 'radius'.

Area (A) = pi * r2
(spoken as 'pi-r-squared')

Other than this, a nice and concise instructable - 4.5 stars for you =]

sorry about the unknown letters. The unknown letters in front of the examples in step 4 is the sign "pie" and the letters after the examples is a mini 2 (for the square root)
