1. What is Circle Area?

The area of a circle is the space contained within its circumference. It's measured in square units (square feet in this calculator).

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the circle area formula:

\[ A = \pi r^2 \]

Where:

\( A \) — Area in square feet
\( r \) — Radius in feet
\( \pi \) — Approximately 3.14159

Explanation: The area grows with the square of the radius - doubling the radius quadruples the area.

3. Importance of Area Calculation

Details: Calculating circular areas is essential in construction, landscaping, manufacturing, and many engineering applications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the radius in feet. The value must be positive. The calculator will compute the area in square feet.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if I know the diameter instead of radius?
A: Divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius before using the calculator.

Q2: How precise is the calculation?
A: The calculator uses π to 15 decimal places but displays results rounded to 2 decimal places.

Q3: Can I use this for other units?
A: This calculator specifically uses feet for input and square feet for output. For other units, convert your measurements first.

Q4: What's the largest circle this can calculate?
A: There's no theoretical limit, but extremely large values may exceed computational limits.

Q5: How is this different from circumference?
A: Circumference is the distance around the circle (2πr), while area is the space inside (πr²).
