In square mils, the area of a circle with a diameter of 1 mil is: = = = = ( ) = . By definition, this area is also equal to 1 circular mil, so: = . The formula for the area of an arbitrary circle in circular mils can be derived by applying this conversion factor to the standard formula for the area of a circle (which gives its result in square mils).
