Which of the following formulas, when evaluated using rational values for the variables, will result in an irrational number?

The area of a circle is A = πr². If the radius r is a nonzero rational number, then r² is rational, and multiplying it by the irrational number π gives an irrational result. The other area formulas use only rational inputs and rational arithmetic, so their results are rational.
