Mathematical Functions
Let's consider some mathematical functions. In the second section, we already used the SUM function and made a custom formula for calculating percentage.
Task:
Calculate the area and circumference of circle given its radii.
- Prepare Your Excel Sheet:
- Create a table with the first column labeled "Radius";
- Add two more columns labeled "Area" and "Circumference";
- Enter Radii equal to 5;
- In the "Area" column, use the formula:
=PI() * POWER(A2, 2)
; - In the "Circumference" column, use the formula:
= PI() * A2 * 2
; - Additionally, you can round the results using the
=ROUND()
function.
Note
In different versions of Excel or Sheets, commas (,) are used to separate function arguments, while in other versions, semicolons (;) are expected. You can verify this in the syntax hints that appear when entering a formula.
