The area of a circle can be derived by the formula A = πr2. In this tutorial you will learn how to apply this formula to an example. For explanation on how this formula works read article “Area of a Circle – Proof”
Formula
A = πr2
Where:
A = Area
π(pi) = 3.14159…
r = Radius (Half of the diameter)
Example
In this example let’s assume that the diameter of the circle is 10cm. What is the area of the circle?
Solution
Step 1: Work out the radius of the circle
Diameter = 2r
10 = 2r
Radius = 5cm
Step 2: Area of Circle
A = πr2
A = π x 52
A = 3.14159… x 25
A = 78.53982cm2 (5 decimal places)
Great explanation. This took me back to High School.

You’d think if you weren’t an engineer or something you wouldn’t still need to know this stuff, but areas and volumes come into play in everyday life.
