Formulas

Core equations used by this calculator.

CircumferenceC = 2πr
AreaA = πr²
Arcs = r θ
iThis is not a² + b² = c². Right triangles stay on /calc/math/pythagorean.

How to use

1

Choose what you know

Radius, diameter, circumference, or area. Arc and sector also need the central angle in degrees.

2

Read r, d, C, and A together

Arc mode reports arc length; sector reports sector area.

Example calculations

Definition
A Euclidean circle of radius r has diameter 2r, circumference 2πr, and area πr². Arc length s = rθ (θ in radians).
What it calculates
Circle diameter, circumference, area, arc, and sector.
Inputs
  • mode
  • r?
  • diameter?
  • circumference?
  • area?
  • theta_deg?
Outputs
  • r
  • diameter
  • circumference
  • area
Formula
C = 2πr, A = πr²
Assumptions
  • Euclidean plane
  • Not spherical geometry
  • Not Pythagorean-only
Units
  • length (consistent units)
  • degrees
Boundary conditions
  • r ≤ 0 → VALUE_MUST_BE_POSITIVE
  • unknown mode → INVALID_MODE
Example
r=1 → C=2π, A=π

Frequently asked questions

Key distinctions behind the calculation.

Is this the Pythagorean calculator?

No. Right-triangle a²+b²=c² is /calc/math/pythagorean.

Where does this run?
