cm
Enter circumference in cm.

Formula

diameter=circumference/π; circular area=circumference²/(4π).
  • Use the units shown beside each field.
  • Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
  • Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
  • Circular-section approximation at the measurement height; irregular stems and bark thickness are not corrected.

Example Calculation

Example inputs
  • Circumference: 100 cm

Circumference = 100. Primary result: 31.8309886184.

Frequently asked questions

How do I use this calculator?

Enter circumference. The result updates automatically. Use Reset to restore the example values.

What method does it use?

diameter=circumference/π; circular area=circumference²/(4π).. Circular-section approximation at the measurement height; irregular stems and bark thickness are not corrected.

Why might a rounded result differ?

The calculation keeps full numeric precision internally, then rounds the displayed result. Rounding intermediate steps by hand can produce a slightly different answer.

Are my inputs saved online?

No. This calculator processes your inputs in your browser. A recently used list stores only calculator names on this device, not your entered values.
