- d = 2r, C = 2πr, A = πr²
- Area = 314.1592654 in²
How to use it
Enter any one of the radius, diameter, circumference or area.
Enter the measurements (decimals, fractions such as 3/4, or mixed numbers such as 1 1/2) and, if you like, their unit; the answer is then also given in other units. Show the working gives the formula.
Key facts
A = π r² = π d² ÷ 4 = C² ÷ 4π
Area from the diameter
A = π d² ÷ 4: a 10-inch pizza is 25π ≈ 78.54 in².
Questions
What is the area of a circle of radius 10?
100π ≈ 314.1592654.
How much bigger is a 16-inch pizza than a 12-inch one?
(16/12)² ≈ 1.78 times the area.
Formulas
A = π r² = π d² ÷ 4 = C² ÷ 4π
