How do you find the area of this? I had to do an experiment where you take a styrofoam cup and poke a flashlight through the bottom of it, then shine the light onto a wall from different distances and measure the diameter. I have to calculate the area. It it just pi*r^2? That's what I did, but then I've seen someone else use 4*pi*r^2 and that confused me. I want to make sure I done it right.
