Error Calculating Circle Area in Python

[aaronramsdale]

I'm working on a Python script to calculate the area of different shapes. I have functions defined for calculating the area of a square and a rectangle, but I am encountering an error when calculating the area of a circle.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

def calculate_square_area(side_length):   """Calculates the area of a square."""   return side_length * side_length   def calculate_rectangle_area(length, width):   """Calculates the area of a rectangle."""   return length * width   def calculate_circle_area(radius):  # This function has an error   """Calculates the area of a circle (intended)."""   # Incorrect formula used here (replace with the correct formula)   return radius   # Example usage with working functions square_area = calculate_square_area(5) rectangle_area = calculate_rectangle_area(4, 6) print(f"Square area: {square_area}") print(f"Rectangle area: {rectangle_area}")   # Error occurs here when trying to calculate circle area circle_area = calculate_circle_area(3) print(f"Circle area: {circle_area}")  # This line will cause an error

When I ran this code, I encountered a TypeError because the calculate_circle_area function returns the radius instead of calculating the area using the correct formula (pi * radius squared).
Can you help me correct the calculate_circle_area function to calculate a circle's area?

All you need is π

Area = π * r2

Then return Area, not radius, of course!

Look here.
