About this calculator

This area of a circle calculator computes the area, radius, or diameter of a circle from any one of those values.

Formula notes

Area = πr²; diameter = 2r; r = √(area/π).

Worked examples

  1. Example: a circle with a 10 cm radius has an area of about 314.16 cm².
  2. A circular garden with a 2 m radius has an area of about 12.57 m².

How to use it

  1. Enter radius, diameter, or area.
  2. Leave the other fields empty.
  3. Read the remaining circle measurements.

Frequently asked questions

Which unit should I enter?

Use any supported length unit; the area result matches the square of that unit (for example cm produces cm²).

Can I start from the area?

Yes. Enter the area and the calculator will derive the radius and diameter.

Limits and interpretation

  • The calculator assumes a perfect circle; irregular or oval shapes need a different method.
  • Unit precision matters: entering the radius in cm changes the area to cm².
