1. What is Circle Square Footage?

Circle square footage refers to the area of a circle measured in square feet. It represents the amount of two-dimensional space contained within the circle's circumference.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the circle area formula:

Where:

• \( \pi \) — Mathematical constant (approximately 3.14159)
• \( r \) — Radius of the circle in feet

Explanation: The formula calculates the area by multiplying the mathematical constant π (pi) by the square of the circle's radius.

3. Importance of Circle Area Calculation

Details: Calculating circle area is essential in construction, landscaping, manufacturing, and various engineering applications where circular spaces need to be measured for materials, coverage, or planning purposes.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the radius of the circle in feet. The value must be positive and valid. The calculator will compute the square footage using the standard circle area formula.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if I have the diameter instead of radius?
A: Divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius, then use that value in the calculator.

Q2: Can I use different units?
A: This calculator uses feet as the unit. Convert other units to feet first for accurate results.

Q3: How accurate is the calculation?
A: The calculation uses the precise value of π and provides results rounded to two decimal places for practical use.

Q4: What is π (pi) value used?
A: The calculator uses the built-in PHP constant M_PI which provides π with about 14 decimal places of precision.

Q5: Can I calculate partial circles?
A: This calculator computes the area of full circles. For partial circles (sectors), additional angle information would be needed.
