Circle: Explanation and example

Find circle area, circumference and diameter.

Explanation and example

For radius r, diameter is 2r, circumference is 2πr and area is πr².

Example: radius 2 length units gives diameter 4 length units, circumference about 12.566 length units and area about 12.566 square units. The numbers happen to match, but their units differ.

Limits

Radius must be positive. Area uses the square of the selected length unit.
