Circle Calculator

This calculator finds a circle's radius, diameter, circumference, and area when you know one measurement.

Enter the known radius, diameter, circumference, or area, then calculate the remaining properties. Keep the input unit in mind because lengths use that unit and area uses its square.

Diameter = 2 × radius. Circumference = 2 × pi × radius, or pi × diameter. Area = pi × radius².

Worked example

A circular table with a diameter of 4 feet has a radius of 2 feet. Its circumference is pi × 4, about 12.57 feet, and its area is pi × 2², about 12.57 square feet.

Common questions

Is radius half the diameter?

Yes. Divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius, or multiply the radius by 2 to get the diameter.

Why do circumference and area sometimes have the same number?

That can happen for certain radii, including a radius of 2. The units remain different, so 12.57 feet of circumference is not the same quantity as 12.57 square feet of area.
