Circle Calculator (area + circumference + sector + arc)

All four classic circle quantities in one tool — area πr², circumference 2πr, sector area (½r²θ), arc length (rθ).

Inputs

360° = full circle = whole area / circumference.

Step-by-step

  1. Area = πr² = π · 5² = 78.5398.
  2. Circumference = 2πr = 2π · 5 = 31.4159.
  3. Convert angle: 60° × π/180 = 1.0472 rad.
  4. Sector area = ½r²θ (radian) = ½ · 5² · 1.0472 = 13.0900.
  5. Arc length = rθ = 5 · 1.0472 = 5.2360.

How to use this calculator

  • Enter the radius — for a sector calculation, enter the angle in degrees too.
  • Set angle = 360 to get the full-circle area and circumference; sector and arc become the full area and circumference.
  • Set angle = 90 for a quarter-circle (¼ area, ¼ circumference).

About this calculator

Four classic circle quantities, all derived from radius r. Area A = πr². Circumference C = 2πr = πd. For a sector subtending angle θ (in radians): sector area = ½·r²·θ; arc length = r·θ. Convert degrees to radians by multiplying by π/180; or use the equivalent fraction-of-circle formulation: sector area = (deg/360)·πr², arc length = (deg/360)·2πr. The chord length connecting the two endpoints of an arc is 2·r·sin(θ/2), which is useful in trigonometry and design layout. π is irrational but well-approximated by 3.14159265358979; modern computers carry ~16 significant digits, so circle calculations on this tool are limited by IEEE 754 floating-point precision, not π precision.

Frequently asked

They are mathematically identical — both simplify to (θ/2π)·πr² = (θ/2π)·area. The ½r²θ form (with θ in radians) is shorter and historically came first; the degree-based "fraction of 360" form is more intuitive.
