Drag Coefficient

I want to calculate drag coefficient?
I want to know what is a reference area, as for example let in the flow over sphere?
Density - 1.18415 kg/m^3
Dynamic Viscosity - 1.85508E-5 Pa-s
Diameter of Sphere - 0.05m

The area of the circular cross section when you cut sphere into two equal halves. $(\pi0.05^2)/4$
