Frequently asked questions

What is the formula for the area of a circle?

Area = π × radius². With a radius of 5, the area is about 78.54 square units.

What is circumference?

The distance around the circle, equal to 2 × π × radius. With a radius of 5 it is about 31.42 units.

Can I enter the diameter instead?

Enter the radius, which is half the diameter. For a 10-unit diameter, enter 5.
