NOTE: All units must be the same for these formulas to work. In other words, all in feet or all in inches.

Area = diameter x diameter x .7854
Area = pi x radius x radius
Circumference = diameter of circle divided by .31831
Diameter = circumference x .31831
Pi x radius x radius x height
Area = Width (X) x Height (Y)
Area = X x X
Area = (a+b) x h/2
Area = 1/2 (b x h)
