How to calculate the area of a sphere in C#
Overview
The area of a sphere is the total area covered by the sphere's outer surface. In C#, we can calculate it using the sphere's radius.
Syntax
4 * Math.PI * r * r
Syntax for calculating area of a Sphere in C#
Parameters
Math.PI: This is an built-in value that represents the mathematical value Pi.
r: This represents the radius of the sphere.
Example
using System;class HelloWorld{// create function to get the areasstatic void GetArea(double r){double area = 4 * Math.PI * r * r;Console.WriteLine("The area of the sphere with radius "+r+" is "+area);}// main methodstatic void Main(){// create radius of some spheresdouble r1 = 10;double r2 = 1.5;double r3 = 4.5;double r4 = 8;// get the area of the spheresGetArea(r1);GetArea(r2);GetArea(r3);GetArea(r4);}}
Explanation
- Line 5: We create a method called
GetArea(). It takes the sphere's radius, calculates the area, then prints the result to the console screen. - Lines 14–17: In the
Mainmethod, we create the radii of some spheres. - Lines 20–23: We call the
GetArea()method, and display the results on the console.
