Circle Calculations:
Using the formulas above and additional formulas you can calculate properties of a given circle for any given variable.
Calculate A, C and d | Given r
Given the radius of a circle calculate the area, circumference and diameter. Putting A, C and d in terms of r the equations are:
\[A = \pi r^2 \]
\[C = 2 \pi r \]
\[d = 2r \]
Calculate r, C and d | Given A
Given the area of a circle calculate the radius, circumference and diameter. Putting r, C and d in terms of A the equations are:
\[r = \sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi}} \]
\[C = 2 \pi r = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi}} \]
\[ d = 2r = 2 \sqrt{\frac{A}{\pi}} \]
Calculate A, r and d | Given C
Given the circumference of a circle calculate the radius, area and diameter. Putting A, r and d in terms of C the equations are:
\[r = \frac{C}{2 \pi} \]
\[A = \pi r^2 = \pi \left(\frac{C}{2 \pi}\right)^2 = \frac{\pi C^2}{4 \pi^2} = \frac{C^2}{4 \pi} \]
\[d = 2r = \frac{2C}{2 \pi} = \frac{C}{\pi} \]
Calculate A, C and r | Given d
Given the diameter of a circle calculate the radius, area and circumference. Putting A, C and r in terms of d the equations are:
\[r = \frac{d}{2} \]
\[A = \pi r^2 = \pi \left(\frac{d}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} \]
\[C = 2 \pi r = 2 \pi \frac{d}{2} = \pi d \]
