Frequently Asked Questions

What's the formula for circle area?

Area = π × radius²

What's the formula for circumference?

Circumference = 2 × π × radius, or π × diameter.

What's the difference between radius and diameter?

Diameter is the full width of the circle through its center; radius is half of that, from center to edge.

What value of pi does this use?

This uses JavaScript's built-in Math.PI, accurate to about 15 decimal places.

Can I enter diameter instead of radius?

Divide your diameter by 2 first, then enter that as the radius.

Does this work for spheres too?

No, this calculates 2D circle properties - sphere volume and surface area use different 3D formulas.

Is this useful for construction?

Yes, calculating circular areas (like a round patio or pool) is a common practical use.

Can radius be a decimal?

Yes, decimal values are fully supported for precise measurements.

Is my data saved?

No, calculations happen entirely in your browser.

Is this tool free?

Yes, completely free with no sign-up required.
