What can the Circle Calculator solve for?

Enter any one of radius, diameter, circumference or area, and the Circle Calculator derives the other three automatically using the standard circle formulas.

Can the Circle Calculator find the radius from the area or circumference?

It applies area = π × radius². If you enter a diameter, circumference or area instead of a radius, the Circle Calculator first solves for the radius, then computes the area from it.

What formula does the circumference calculator use?

Circumference = 2 × π × radius, which is the same as π × diameter. Enter any known value and the Circle Calculator works out the radius first, then the circumference.

Can I enter a diameter instead of a radius?

Yes. Switch the known-value selector to Diameter, enter the diameter, and the radius calculator divides it by two before computing circumference and area.

Does the Circle Calculator work with any unit of measurement?

Yes, it is unit-agnostic. Enter a radius, diameter or circumference in any consistent unit (inches, meters, etc.) and the area is returned in that unit squared.

Does the Circle Calculator upload my numbers?

No. All calculations run locally in your browser. The values you type never leave your device and nothing is sent to ArrayKit's servers.

About Circle Calculator

Circle Calculator finds all four core measurements of a circle — radius, diameter, circumference and area — from any single value you already know. Pick whether you're entering a radius, diameter, circumference or area, type the number in, and the other three update instantly using the standard formulas: diameter = 2 × radius, circumference = 2 × π × radius, and area = π × radius². It is useful for geometry homework, sizing a circular table or pipe, estimating material for a round garden bed, or double-checking a CAD measurement. Every result is computed with full floating-point precision and shown rounded for readability. Everything runs locally in your browser as you type, with nothing uploaded.

Example

Input

r=5

Output

C=31.42, A=78.54

A radius of 5 gives a circumference of 2 × π × 5 ≈ 31.42 and an area of π × 5² ≈ 78.54.

Common errors & troubleshooting

The Circle Calculator shows an error instead of a result. — Enter a positive number greater than zero for the known field — a blank, zero, or negative value can't be used to derive the other measurements.
The area of a circle calculator gives a much bigger number than expected. — Area grows with the square of the radius, so doubling the radius quadruples the area — that's expected behavior, not a bug.
Switching from radius to diameter changes the result unexpectedly. — Re-enter the value for the newly selected field — a radius of 5 is not the same number as a diameter of 5, so the input needs to match what you're now solving from.
The circumference calculator result doesn't match a hand calculation. — Check that you used enough digits of π (the tool uses full double precision) and that you're comparing circumference, not diameter or area.
