How to use this calculator

  1. Enter the known values in the units shown. Results update as you type.
  2. Where results are editable, change one to solve backwards. Lock a value to hold it fixed.
  3. Use the worked example to check the method. Reset restores the starting fields.

Formula and method

Boundary length 10π centimeters gives radius 5 centimeters.

d = 2r; C = 2πr; A = πr²

Worked example

Enter these known values and leave the other values blank.

Radius (r)

Assumptions and limitations

  • The model describes a Euclidean circle. Radius is half the diameter; boundary length and enclosed area have different physical dimensions.
  • Length and area selectors are converted before calculation. A squared-length unit is not the same as a length unit.
  • The supplied measurements must be mutually consistent. Clear an unknown value rather than supplying conflicting dimensions.
  • Arithmetic uses 64 significant digits and full-precision π where applicable; displayed values are rounded separately.

Common questions

Can I enter an area to recover a radius or diameter?

Use an area input in a squared-length unit and clear the length you want to infer. The positive geometric root is used.
