Creating (Circle) Polygon with Specific Area Size

Question

I am wondering if the ArcMap (10.6) or ArcGIS Pro (2.3.3) allows us to create circle polygon with setting specific area-size, instead of radius? Thank you in advance.

Are you thinking of a GUI tool/interface?

If you know the area you want then you can work out the radius that you need to create it

Area of circle = PI * r^2

Therefore to know radius the equation is

r = SQRT(area/PI) where SQRT means Square Root.

So for example if you want a circle that is exactly 200m2 then the radius is SQRT(200/PI) which is 7.978m to 3 decimal places.

Now you know the radius just feed that into a buffer tool.

The GeoNet Resource Hub is for asking questions about GeoNet itself, not general questions about Esri software.  Sharing with Analysis‌.

Is this something that will be repeated a lot?  Are you using the GUI and an edit session?
