Tom's formula for area used diameter squared, divided by 4, multiplied by 3.14 (pi). same result as radius squared times pi

11C here.

And I was thrilled to see this as a calculcator app on the iphone.
The keys don't feel the same, but the muscle memory still finds the locations just fine.

It sounds like he used diameter in that web calculator on his first try, but the input is in radius.  Which is a little odd for that application since round duct sizing is normally listed by diameter.

I didn’t know there was such a thing.  I’m going to have to try that.
