What is the area of a circle with radius 15 miles

Here is the answer to questions like: how to find the area of a circle with radius 15 miles?

Circle Calculator

Inputs:

Radius:		or
Diameter		or
Circumference:
Unit:

The area of a circle with radius 15 is 706.9
Formulae:
	A = πr² = π(d2)² A = C²4π π = 3.1415 A = area C = circumference or perimeter r = radius, d = diameter

Solution Steps:

Area of a circle in terms of radius:

Area = π·r² = 3.14·15² = 706.9 square miles^(*)

Area of a circle in terms of diameter:

Area = π·(d2)² = 3.14·(302)² = 3.14·(15)² = 706.9 square miles^(*)

Area of a circle in terms of circumference:

Area = C²4π = 94.25²4π = 8883.06(4·3.14) = 8883.0612.56 = 706.9 square miles^(*)

^(*) 706.8583470577 miles, exactly or limited to the precision of this calculator (13 decimal places).

Note: for simplicity, the operations above were rounded to 2 decimal places and π was rounded to 3.14.

Result in other units of area:

A circle of radius = 15 or diameter = 30 or circumference = 94.25 miles has an area of:

1830.86 square kilometers (km²)
1.83086 × 10⁹ square meters (m²)
1.83086 × 10¹³ square centimeters (cm²)
1.83086 × 10¹⁵ square millimeters (mm²)
706.9 square miles (mi²)
2.18969 × 10⁹ square yards (yd²)
1.97072 × 10¹⁰ square feet (ft²)
2.83784 × 10¹² square inches (in²)

Use the this circle area calculator below to find the area of a circle given its radius, or other parameters. To calculate the area, you just need to enter a positive numeric value in one of the 3 fields of the calculator. You can also see at the bottom of the calculator, the step-by-step solution.

Formula for area of a circle

Here a three ways to find the area of a circle (formulas):

Circle area formula in terms of radius

A = πr²

Circle area formula in terms of diameter

A = π(d2)²

Circle area formula in terms of circumference

A = C²4π

See below some definitions related to the formulas:

Circumference

Circumference is the linear distance around the circle edge.

Radius

The radius of a circle is any of the line segments from its center to its perimeter. The radius is half the diameter or r = d2.

Diameter

The diameter of a circle is any straight line segment that passes through the center of the circle and whose endpoints lie on the circle. The diameter is twice the radius or d = 2·r.

The Greek letter π

π represents the number Pi which is defined as the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter or π = Cd . For simplicity, you can use Pi = 3.14 or Pi = 3.1415. Pi is an irrational number. The first 100 digits of Pi are: 3.1415926535 8979323846 2643383279 5028841971 6939937510 5820974944 5923078164 0628620899 8628034825 3421170679 ...

Note:

If you input the radius in centimeters, you will get the answer in square centimeters (cm²), if in inches, will get the answer in square inches (in²) and so on ...

Circumference is often misspelled as circunference.
