Circle Diameter from Area

The Diameter of a Circle from the Area calculator computes the diameter of a circle based on the circle's area.

INSTRUCTIONS:  Choose units and enter the following:

• (A) Area of Circle

Circle Diameter (D):  The calculator returns the diameter in meters.  However this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

The formula for the diameter of a circle based on the area is:

          `D = 2·sqrt(A/π)`

where:

• A is the area of the circle
• D is the diameter of the circle

Circle Calculators
