Geometry Formulas

Hypotenuse: c = √(a² + b²) Rectangle Area: A = l × w Circle Area: A = π × r² Circumference: C = 2πr
a, b = Legs of right triangle (or side lengths)
c = Hypotenuse
r = Circle radius
l, w = Rectangle length and width

ℹ️ Pythagorean theorem applies only to right-angle triangles. π ≈ 3.14159

Frequently Asked Questions

💡

Pro Tips

1

For percentage calculations, convert the percentage to a decimal first (divide by 100) — this prevents calculation errors: 15% = 0.15, so 15% of 80 = 0.15 × 80 = 12.

2

When working with large numbers, use scientific notation to check your work. A calculator result that's off by a factor of 10 usually means a decimal point was misplaced.

3

Standard deviation close to zero means data is clustered tightly around the mean. High SD means high variability. Always report both mean and SD together for complete information.

4

Cross-check critical calculations with a different method or tool. For geometry, verify with the Pythagorean theorem. For statistics, verify mean with (max+min)/2 as a sanity check.

About the Circle Calculator

This circle calculator solves for all four circle measurements — area, circumference, diameter, and radius — when you provide any one of them, using the fundamental relationships between them (A = πr², C = 2πr, d = 2r). Enter any single measurement to instantly see all the others. Works in metric (cm, m) and imperial (in, ft) units. Built for students, engineers, designers, and anyone working with circular shapes.

🧭
