How to Calculate the Area of a Circle

Subject: Mathematics

Book: Maths Mastery

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr², where r is the radius—the distance from the center to the circumference. If you have a circle with radius 5 cm, its area is π × 5² = 25π cm². In practical terms, you might need to measure the space a circular rug covers or the cross-sectional area of a circular pipe. Knowing how to apply A = πr² is foundational in geometry, engineering, and architecture. Pairing this knowledge with circumference or volume formulas further expands your capability to handle circular shapes in diverse projects and daily scenarios.
