Formulas for Circle Calculator
Diameter (D)
The diameter (D) of a circle is twice the radius.
\( D = 2 \times \text{Radius} \)
Circumference (C)
The circumference (C) of a circle is the total distance around it, calculated as follows:
\( C = 2 \times \pi \times \text{Radius} \)
Area (A)
The area (A) of a circle is the amount of space it covers, calculated by:
\( A = \pi \times \text{Radius}^2 \)
Examples
Example 1
Problem: Calculate the diameter, circumference, and area of a circle with a radius of 5 units.
Solution
Step 1: Calculate the Diameter
Use the formula for diameter:
Diameter = 2 × Radius
Substitute the values:
Diameter = 2 × 5 = 10 units
Answer: The diameter of the circle is 10 units.
Step 2: Calculate the Circumference
Use the formula for circumference:
Circumference = 2 × π × Radius
Substitute the values (using π ≈ 3.14159):
Circumference = 2 × 3.14159 × 5 ≈ 31.42 units
Answer: The circumference of the circle is approximately 31.42 units.
Step 3: Calculate the Area
Use the formula for area:
Area = π × Radius²
Substitute the values:
Area = 3.14159 × 5² ≈ 78.54 square units
Answer: The area of the circle is approximately 78.54 square units.
Example 2
Problem: Calculate the diameter, circumference, and area of a circle with a radius of 10 units.
Solution
Step 1: Calculate the Diameter
Use the formula for diameter:
Diameter = 2 × Radius
Substitute the values:
Diameter = 2 × 10 = 20 units
Answer: The diameter of the circle is 20 units.
Step 2: Calculate the Circumference
Use the formula for circumference:
Circumference = 2 × π × Radius
Substitute the values:
Circumference = 2 × 3.14159 × 10 ≈ 62.83 units
Answer: The circumference of the circle is approximately 62.83 units.
Step 3: Calculate the Area
Use the formula for area:
Area = π × Radius²
Substitute the values:
Area = 3.14159 × 10² ≈ 314.16 square units
Answer: The area of the circle is approximately 314.16 square units.
