Circumference of a circle
The constant π appears in many math formulas relating to the circle. The formula for the circumference of a circle is 2πr. Given a radius of 3, the same formula in Excel is:
Area of a circle
The area enclosed by a circle with radius (r) is defined by the following formula: πr2. With radius in cell A1, the same formula in Excel with the PI() function is:
Radians to degrees
To convert an angle measured in radians in terms of π, the DEGREES function can be used to get the corresponding angle in degrees: See wumbo.net for a more detailed explanation of key math concepts and formulas.
