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.

1. What is the area of the circle with a radius equal to 5, rounded to two decimal places?
2. What is the circumference of the circle with a radius equal to 5, rounded to two decimal places?
