Now ask yourself. Are you going to bust out πr2 and calculate the area of your current shape and reverse engineer the equation to calculate the required radius of the circle needed for a shape that's precisely twice the area? Or are you going to eyeball a circle thats roughly twice the amount of time to draw?
Which of the circles in pic related looks twice as big to you?
