Problem
A round plate measures diameter centimeters from edge to edge, straight through the center. Write a function that returns how much surface it covers. The area of a circle is pi times the radius squared, and careful: the formula asks for the radius, not the diameter.
Use 3.1416 for pi and return the result rounded to two decimals. A plate with a diameter of 1 measures 0.79, and one of 10 measures 78.54.
Examples
10 → 78.54
An odd diameter
7 → 38.48
The smallest plate
1 → 0.79
