Circle Area Formula Explained

The area of a circle is calculated using the mathematical constant π (pi) and the radius:

Area = π × Radius²
Key Concepts:
  • 1

    Pi (π): A mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159

  • 2

    Radius: The distance from the center to any point on the circle

  • 3

    Square Units: The result is always in square units of your chosen measurement

Example:

A circle with a radius of 5 meters has an area of approximately 78.54 square meters (π × 5²).
