Enter the radius into the calculator to determine the coverage area of a circle.

Circle Coverage Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the coverage area of a circle.

A = π * r^2

Variables:

  • A is the area of the circle (square units)
  • π is a constant approximately equal to 3.14159
  • r is the radius of the circle (units)

To calculate the coverage area of a circle, square the radius of the circle, then multiply the result by π. The result is the area of the circle.

What is a Circle Coverage?

Circle Coverage refers to the area that is covered or encompassed within a circular shape or boundary. In different contexts, it could mean the geographical area covered by a particular service or signal (like a cell tower or satellite), the area a security camera can monitor, or the reach of a particular marketing campaign. The term is used to denote the extent or range of something within a circular parameter.

How to Calculate Circle Coverage?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Area of a Circle using the given formula.


  1. First, determine the value of π (approximately 3.14159).
  2. Next, determine the value of the radius of the circle (r).
  3. Next, square the value of the radius (r^2).
  4. Then, multiply the squared radius by the value of π (A = π * r^2).
  5. Finally, calculate the Area of the Circle (A).
  6. After inserting the values and calculating the result, check your answer with a calculator.

Example Problem:

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
