CIRCLE

Area = Square of Diameter X .7854 or Square of Radius X 3.1416 Circumference =Diameter X 3.1416 Diameter = Circumference X .3183

Doubling diameter increases area four times; tripling diameter increases area nine times, etc.

SQUARE

Area = Square of Side Diagonal = Side X 1.4142 Side =Diagonal X .7071

SQUARE INSCRIBED IN CIRCLE

Side of Square =Diameter of Circle X .7071 or Circumference of Circle X .2251 Diameter of Circle = Side of Square X 1.4142

Circumference of Circle = Side of Square X 4.4429

SQUARE & CIRCLEWITH EQUAL AREA

Side of Square =Diameter of Circle X .8862 Diameter of Circle = Side of Square X 1.128 Circumference of Circle = Side of Square X 3.545

RECTANGLE

Area = Length XWidth Diagonal = Square root of sumof squares ofWidth and Length
