Circle Area Calculator
Calculate the area of a circle using its radius or diameter. Learn the formula, key concepts, and practical applications of circle area calculations.
Understanding Circle Area
The area of a circle is the space enclosed by its circumference. It is calculated using the formula:
Area = π × r²
where r represents the radius.How the Formula Works
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| π (Pi) | A constant approximately equal to 3.14159. |
| r (Radius) | The distance from the center of the circle to any point on its edge. |
| r² | The radius squared (r multiplied by itself). |
| Multiply π by r² to obtain the area. | |
