Statistical Inference — unbiased estimator of circle area

The radius of a circle is measured with an error of measurement, which is N(0,σ2)N(0,\sigma^2). Let x1,x2,…,xnx_1,x_2,…,x_n be nn measurements of the radius. Let xˉ=∑i=1nxin\bar x=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n x_i}{n} be the sample mean and S2=∑i=1n(xi−xˉ)2n−1S^2=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n(x_i-\bar x)^2}{n-1} be the sample variance. What is the unbiased estimate of the area of the circle?
