Circle and arc tools in Solidworks - Cell-by-Cell Formula Trace

Sample Data

This data lists the main circle and arc tools in SolidWorks with their descriptions.

Cell	Value
A1	Tool
B1	Description
A2	Circle Tool
B2	Creates a full circle by specifying center and radius
A3	Arc Tool
B3	Creates an arc by specifying start, end, and radius or center

Formula Trace

Circle Area = π * Radius^2

Step 1: Radius = 5 units

Step 2: Radius^2 = 5^2

Step 3: π * Radius^2 = 3.1416 * 25
