Determine the area, in hectares, for a circular fixed area plot.
Formula used:diameter ÷ 2 = radius A = πR² ÷ 10000 (there are 10000 m² in one hectare) where A = area R = radius π = 3.14159example:
diameter = 15.96 metres (m) 15.96 ÷ 2 = 7.98 -- radius = 7.98 metres (m) 3.14159 * ( 7.98 * 7.98) ÷ 10000 = A 3.14159 * 63.6804 = 200.057707836 ÷ 10000 = 0.02 hectare or 1 ÷ 0.02 = 1 : 50 of a hectare
