=  x Diameter2 = D2
4 4
Sample Diameter, D = 0.505 in.
Sample Radius, R = 0.2525 in.
Area = 3.1416 x 0.25252

Area = 0.20 in2

Area = 0.20 in2

Calculation Shortcut
Area of Circle shortcut:
Area = 0.7854 x D2
because:
 ÷ 4 = 3.1416 ÷ 4 = 0.7854

Calculation of Tensile Strength

Example 3
Load to break = 12,500 lbs
Area of sample = 0.20 in. 2
