Circle Calculator

Welcome to our circle calculator, designed to simplify your geometric calculations. Circles are fascinating geometric figures that appear in many applications, from engineering to graphic design. Understanding the properties of a circle, such as its radius, diameter, circumference, and area, is essential for solving everyday and professional problems.

How to Use the Circle Calculator

The following instructions will help you use the circle calculator:

• Enter an Initial Parameter: Enter the value of one of the parameters in the corresponding field, whether it is radius, diameter, circumference, or area.
• Get Results Automatically: The calculator will automatically calculate the remaining values. For example, if you enter the circumference, the radius, diameter, and area will be calculated automatically.

Example: If a circle has a diameter of 25 m, the calculator will show that its radius is 12.5 m, its circumference is 78.539 m, and its area is 490.874 m². Adjust the Values: Once the results are displayed, you can change any of the result fields to generate new answers with the updated data.

Circle Parameters

To better understand the properties of a circle, it is essential to know the four main parameters: radius, diameter, circumference, and area. Here is a detailed explanation of each:

Radius

The radius is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on its edge. It is one of the most important parameters because the others can be calculated from it. The radius is generally represented as "r".

Diameter

The diameter is twice the radius and represents the maximum distance between two opposite points on the edge of the circle, passing through the center. It is represented as "d". The relationship between the radius and the diameter is: 𝑑=2×𝑟

Circumference

The circumference is the total length of the circle's edge. It can be calculated using the radius or diameter and is represented by the letter "C". The relationship between the circumference and the radius is: 𝐶=2×𝜋×𝑟

It can also be calculated from the diameter: 𝐶=𝜋×𝑑

Area

The area is the measure of the surface of the circle and is represented by the letter "A". It is calculated using the radius, and the formula is: 𝐴=𝜋×𝑟²

This shows how the area is directly related to the radius, making this parameter crucial for understanding the size of a circle.

Calculator Functions

Our circle calculator is a versatile tool designed to perform precise calculations easily. Here are the main functions you can use:

Calculate Radius

Get the radius of the circle from any of these parameters:

Circumference: The radius is calculated by dividing the circumference by 2𝜋.

$r=\frac{C}{2*\pi }$

Diameter: The radius is half the diameter.

$r=\frac{d}{2}$

Area: The radius is obtained by taking the square root of the area divided by 𝜋.

$r=\sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi }}$

Calculate Diameter

Get the diameter from:

Radius: The diameter is simply twice the radius.

$d=2*r$

Circumference: The diameter is calculated by dividing the circumference by 𝜋.

$d=\frac{C}{\pi }$

Area: The diameter is obtained by taking twice the square root of the area divided by 𝜋.

$d=2\sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi }}$

Calculate Circumference

Get the circumference from:

Radius: The circumference is equal to 2𝜋 times the radius.

$C=2*\pi *r$

Diameter: The circumference is the product of the diameter and 𝜋.

$C=\pi *d$

Area: The circumference can be calculated using the area.

$C=2*\pi \sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi }}$

Calculate Area

Get the area of the circle from:

Radius: The area is 𝜋 times the radius squared.

$A=\pi *r{2}^{}$

Diameter: The area is calculated by taking the product of 𝜋 with the radius squared, which is the diameter divided by 2.

$A=\frac{\pi *d^2}{4}$

Circumference: Using the circumference, the area is:

$A=\frac{C^2}{4\pi }$

Practical Examples
