Stadium Calculator

Use this calculator to calculate physical values related to the shape of a stadium. A geometric stadium
is a circle of radius r that has been cut in half through the center and the 2 ends are then separated by
rectangle of height r and width (or side length) of a.  Calculations are essentially a combination of
calculations for a combined circle and rectangle.

Stadium Formulas in terms of radius r and side a: (π = Pi)

Area of a stadium:

A= πr2 + 2 * r * a
Perimeter of a stadium:

P = 2 * (πr + a)

Stadium Calculations:

Use the following additional formulas along with the formulas above.

• Given the radius and side of a stadium calculate the area and perimeter
Given r, a find A, P
◦ use the formulas above
• Given the radius and area of a stadium calculate the side and perimeter
Given r, A find a, P
2
◦ a = (A - (πr )) / (2 * r)
• Given the radius and perimeter of a stadium calculate the side and area
Given r, P find a, A
◦ a = (P / 2) - (πr)
• Given the side and perimeter of a stadium calculate the radius and area
Given a, P find r, A
◦ r = (P / 2π) - (a / π)
