What is Area Calculator?
An area calculator evaluates the two-dimensional space enclosed within the boundary of planar geometric shapes.
How to Use This Calculator
- Choose your target shape (Circle, Rectangle, Triangle, or Trapezoid).
- Input measurements for dimensions.
- View surface area and outer perimeter/circumference.
The Mathematical Formula & Variables
Circle: pi*r^2; Rectangle: L*W; Triangle: 0.5*b*h; Trapezoid: ((a+b)/2)*h

Pi Constant | Ratio of circle circumference to diameter (~3.14159). |
Step-by-Step Worked Example
Scenario: Circle with radius r = 5 units.
- Square radius: 5² = 25.
- Multiply by π: 25 * 3.14159 = 78.54 sq units.
- Circumference = 2 * π * 5 = 31.42 units.
Result: Area = 78.54 sq units
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert square feet to square yards?
Divide square feet by 9 to obtain square yards (since 1 yard = 3 feet, and 1 sq yd = 3 * 3 = 9 sq ft).
