Area of Circular Fields

To find the area of a circle, multiply the radius of the circle (the distance from the center to the edge) by
the radius of the circle by 3.14 (π). Yes, that is right — you want to multiple the radius of the circle by
itself. The diameter is the distance from one edge of a circle, through the center point, to the opposite
edge, or twice the radius.

1. What is the area (in acres) of a circular field with a diameter of 1,320 ft.?

2. What is the area (in acres) of a circular field with a diameter of 2,640 ft.?

3. What is the area (in acres) of a circular field with a diameter of 3,000 ft.
Answers:

1. What is the area (in acres) of a circular field with a diameter of 1,320 ft.?

1,320 = radius of 660 ft.


2

3.14 x 660 ft x 660 ft = 1,367,784 sq ft = 31.4 acres


43,560 sq ft per acre 43,560 sq ft per acre

2. What is the area (in acres) of a circular field with a diameter of 2,640 ft.?

2,640 = radius of 1,320 ft.


2

3.14 x 1,320 ft x 1,320 ft = 5,471,136 sq ft = 125.6 acres


43,560 sq ft per acre 43,560 sq ft per acre

3. What is the area (in acres) of a circular field with a diameter of 3,000 ft.?

3,000 = radius of 1,500 ft.


2

3.14 x 1,500 ft x 1,500 ft = 7,065,000 sq ft = 162 acres


43,560 sq ft per acre 43,560 sq ft per acre
