Program to calculate area of Circumcircle of an Equilateral Triangle

Given the length of sides of an equilateral triangle. We need to write a program to find the area of Circumcircle of the given equilateral triangle.
Examples: 
 

Input : side = 6
Output : Area of circumscribed circle is: 37.69

Input : side = 9
Output : Area of circumscribed circle is: 84.82 

 

All three sides of equilateral triangle are of equal length and all three interior angles are 60 degrees.
Properties of a Circumcircle are as follows: 
 

Below image shows an equilateral triangle with circumcircle: 
 

The formula used to calculate the area of circumscribed circle is: 
 

(?*a2)/3

where a is the length of the side of the given equilateral triangle.
 

How this formulae works?

We know that area of circle = ?*r2, where r is the radius of given circle.
We also know that radius of Circumcircle of an equilateral triangle = (side of the equilateral triangle)/ ?3.
Therefore, area = ?*r2 = ?*a2/3.
