How do I calculate the area of a circle?

The area of a circle is calculated using the formula A = πr², where "r" is the radius. Our calculator handles the value of π (pi) automatically.

Can I calculate area for irregular shapes?

This tool is designed for standard geometric shapes. For irregular shapes, you can often break them down into smaller rectangles or triangles, calculate their individual areas, and sum them up.

Why is area important?

Knowing the area is crucial for many real-world tasks, such as buying the right amount of paint, carpet, or tiles for a room, or determining the size of a plot of land.
