Who came up with the formula area of a circle and when was it derived?

and if you also have information on who came up with the surface area of a sphere and the circumference of a circle and when they were derived that would b helpful as well. Thanks

The Babylonians were the first know to calculate area of a circle from its radius (or diameter).
