CIRCLE
Circle perimeter & area, all from one radius.
Fill the radius (or diameter) and get the perimeter and area instantly; add a central angle for arc length and sector area; switch to sphere mode for volume and surface area. Radius and diameter are linked — change one and the other follows.

How to use
Pick the object, then fill the radius or diameter (they are linked) and, where relevant, the central angle: circle mode gives perimeter and area; the sector mode adds arc length and sector area; sphere mode gives volume and surface area. Results keep two decimals and the working shows every substitution, with the value of π noted below.
Common questions
Perimeter and area — which formula is which?
The perimeter is the distance around the circle, 2πr; the area is how much fits inside, πr². The classic mistake is using 2πr when the problem asks for area, or πr² when it asks for the perimeter. Remember: perimeter goes "once around" with r to the first power; area covers a "disk" with r squared.
How are arc length and sector area computed?
Both use the fraction of the full circle the angle covers: arc = (θ/360) × 2πr, sector area = (θ/360) × πr². With θ = 90° that is exactly a quarter: a quarter of the perimeter and a quarter of the area.
What is the difference between a circle and a sphere?
A circle is a flat shape (perimeter and area only); a sphere is a solid, so besides its surface area it has a volume. The sphere surface area S = 4πr² is exactly four times the circle area πr² — you can picture the sphere as four large discs. The volume is V = (4/3)πr³.

示例与注意事项Example & notes
一个例子A worked example
已知半径 3:得到周长 18.85、面积 28.27;把圆心角填 90° 再算,弧长 4.71、扇形面积 7.07,正好是全圆的 1/4。With radius 3: perimeter 18.85, area 28.27; add a 90° central angle and the arc is 4.71 with sector area 7.07 — exactly a quarter of the circle.
注意事项Things to watch
- 半径与直径双向联动:改其中一个,另一个自动换算(填直径 10 时半径自动变 5)。Radius and diameter are linked: change either and the other follows (diameter 10 gives radius 5).
- 结果保留两位小数;π 取 3.14159265358979,题目要求精确值时按 π 保留到题目给定的位数。Results keep two decimals; π is taken as 3.14159265358979, so keep as many digits as the problem asks for.
- 球模式给的是球(立体)的体积与表面积,不要与圆面积 πr² 混淆:球表面积恰是圆面积的 4 倍。Sphere mode gives the volume and surface area of the solid — do not confuse it with the circle area πr²; the sphere surface area is exactly four times that.
相关问答More Q&A
周长和面积总是分不清怎么办?I keep mixing up perimeter and area
记两个特征:周长是「绕一圈多长」,用 2πr,r 的一次方;面积是「铺满里面多大」,用 πr²,r 的平方。做题时先问自己:题目要的是长度还是「能装多少」。Anchor on two cues: perimeter is "how far around" — 2πr with r to the first power; area is "how much fits inside" — πr² with r squared. Ask whether the question asks for a length or for "how much fits".
弧长为什么用 θ/360 这样的比例?Why is the arc computed with θ/360?
因为弧长与扇形面积都随圆心角成正比:θ=360° 时是整圆(弧长=周长、扇形=全圆),θ=90° 时就是四分之一,θ=60° 时是六分之一。比例式能自动覆盖所有情形。Arc length and sector area are both proportional to the central angle: 360° gives the full circle (arc = perimeter, sector = whole area), 90° gives a quarter, 60° a sixth. The ratio handles every case at once.
