About Circle Calculator
Circle Calculator helps you work through the main numbers for this topic quickly with a simple input flow and an instant result.
Use the calculator result as a practical starting point, then review the explanation and assumptions on the page if you want more context.
Circle formulas
Area = pi x radius squared. Circumference = 2 x pi x radius. With a 2 m radius, both values round to 12.57 in their respective square-metre and metre units.
Formula explained
Circle area and circumference
Calculate the area and circumference of a circle from its radius in metres.
Formula
Area = pi x radius squared; circumference = 2 x pi x radius
