Key Information
- Formula: The area of a circle is calculated using the formula A = πr², where r is the radius. Since diameter (d) is twice the radius, we can also express this as A = π(d/2)²1.
- Conversion Factor: To convert from diameter to area in square feet, use the formula: Area (sq ft) = π * (diameter/2)²2.
- Pi (π): In these calculations, π is approximated to 3.141591.
- Precision: The areas in the table are rounded to two decimal places for simplicity, but more precise calculations may be necessary for specific applications.
- Scaling: As the diameter doubles, the area quadruples. This is because the area is proportional to the square of the radius or diameter3.
- Applications: This conversion is useful in various fields, including construction, landscaping, and engineering, where circular areas need to be calculated13.
- Reverse Calculation: To find the diameter given the area, use the formula: Diameter = 2 * √(Area / π)2.
- Units: Ensure that the diameter and area are in consistent units. The table above uses feet for diameter and square feet for area3.
Remember, this table provides a quick reference, but for precise measurements, it's always best to calculate the exact area using the formula with the specific diameter you're working with.
