Area Calculator

Find the area of a square, rectangle, triangle, or circle.

Area Calculator

Choose a shape, enter its measurements, then select Calculate.

How these calculations work

A square's area is its side squared. A rectangle's area is length × width. A triangle's area is half its base times its height. A circle's area is π times its radius squared.

Examples

A square with a 5-unit side has an area of 25. A 30×20 rectangle has an area of 600. A triangle with a 30-unit base and 45-unit height has an area of 675. A circle with a 5-unit radius has an area of about 78.54.

Frequently asked questions

What units does the result use?

Whatever unit you enter your measurements in — the result is in that same unit, squared. For example, entering measurements in meters gives an area in square meters.

Why does the calculator say my input is invalid?

A required field is empty or not a number, or a measurement is zero or negative — a length, base, height, or radius must be a positive number.
