Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using diameter instead of radius for area: A = πr² needs RADIUS, not diameter!
- Forgetting to square: πr² means π × r × r, NOT π × r × 2
- Wrong units for area: Area must be in cm², m² etc. (squared units)
- Rounding too early: Keep π in your calculator until the final answer
