Circle equation calculator — standard & general form, area, circumference

Run — free

Runs in your browser. Free, unlimited — your data never leaves this page.

Give a center and a positive radius, or paste the general form x squared plus y squared plus Dx plus Ey plus F equals zero, and you get the standard equation centered at h and k, the expanded general coefficients, plus area and circumference from the same recovered radius. Homework checks, CAD notes, game collision setup, and interview prep all need those four results side by side without opening a computer-algebra system. The solve path is deterministic pure arithmetic—no network, no random seeds, no wall-clock dependence—so the free browser tool and the prepaid API return the same JSON after fixed decimal rounding every time you call it.

How to use it

Enter your values in the form above. The tool checks them before calculating and shows the result on the same page.

Check your inputs

Use the labels and units shown next to each field. If something is missing or outside the allowed range, the page points to the field to fix.

Use it again or automate it

Use the browser tool for individual checks and the API when you need the same capability in an automated workflow.

What you can do with it

Get an answer now

Enter one set of values and see the result without building a spreadsheet or script.

Compare scenarios

Change one value at a time and rerun the calculation to understand what affects the result.

Automate repeated work

Use the API when the same calculation needs to run inside your product or workflow.

For developers — API access

Everything on this page is available programmatically. This section is for teams who want to wire it into their own systems; everyone else can just use the tool above.

API endpoint

POSThttps://api.kit.forhosting.com/geom/circle-equation

Prefer to automate it? One authenticated POST creates the task; the result comes back by webhook or a signed link. The same capability also runs here on the web, by email and from Telegram — and soon from our app too.

Call it from your stack

curl -X POST https://api.kit.forhosting.com/geom/circle-equation \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KIT_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"h":0,"cx":-1000000000000}'

const res = await fetch("https://api.kit.forhosting.com/geom/circle-equation", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": `Bearer ${process.env.KIT_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "h": 0,
    "cx": -1000000000000
  })
});
const { task_id } = await res.json();

import os, requests

res = requests.post(
    "https://api.kit.forhosting.com/geom/circle-equation",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['KIT_KEY']}"},
    json={
    "h": 0,
    "cx": -1000000000000
},
)
task_id = res.json()["task_id"]

<?php
$res = file_get_contents("https://api.kit.forhosting.com/geom/circle-equation", false, stream_context_create([
  "http" => [
    "method"  => "POST",
    "header"  => "Authorization: Bearer " . getenv("KIT_KEY") . "\r\nContent-Type: application/json",
    "content" => '{"h":0,"cx":-1000000000000}',
  ],
]));
$task = json_decode($res, true);

body := bytes.NewBufferString(`{"h":0,"cx":-1000000000000}`)
req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", "https://api.kit.forhosting.com/geom/circle-equation", body)
req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("KIT_KEY"))
req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)

Example request

{
  "h": 0,
  "cx": -1000000000000
}

Example response

{
  "task_id": "tsk_a1b2c3d4e5f6a1b2c3d4e5f6",
  "type": "geom.circle_equation",
  "status": "queued",
  "_links": {
    "result": "/tasks/tsk_…/result"
  }
}

The API is asynchronous: the call returns a task_id immediately and the result arrives by webhook. Polling is capped at 1 req/s per task.

Pricing

Per request$0.002

Published price — no tokens, no invented credits. A failed task is never charged.

Limits

`max_abs`	1000000000000
`min_radius`	1e-15

Errors

HTTP	Code	Meaning
`401`	`unauthorized`	Missing or invalid API key.
`402`	`insufficient_balance`	Your balance doesn't cover the task price.
`404`	`unknown_type`	That task type doesn't exist.
`429`	`rate_limited`	Too many requests. Use the webhook instead of polling.
