📘 About the Circumradius Area

The circumradius is the radius of the circumcircle passing through all three vertices.

This formula is useful when the three side lengths and circumradius are known.

The side lengths must satisfy the triangle inequality.

🧮 Formula

Circumradius area formula
A = abc/(4R)

Where

  • a,b,c = side lengths
  • R = circumradius
  • A = triangle area
All side and radius measurements must use the same unit.

✏️ Worked example

3-4-5 triangle with R = 2.5 cm

You enter
Side a3 cm
Side b4 cm
Side c5 cm
Circumradius R2.5 cm
You get
Triangle Area6
Valid Triangle1

The calculated area is 6 square centimetres.

❓ Frequently asked questions

What is the formula using circumradius?

Area equals abc divided by 4R.

What is the circumradius?

It is the radius of the circle passing through all three vertices of the triangle.

Can any three sides be entered?

They must satisfy the triangle inequality.

What is the circumradius of a 3-4-5 right triangle?

It is half the hypotenuse, so it is 2.5 units.
