    This document provides information about circles including definitions of radius, diameter, circumference, and area. It gives the formulas for calculating circumference (C = πd) and area (A = πr^2) and includes examples of using the formulas to find circumference, diameter, radius, or area when given values of any other term. Key relationships explained are that the diameter is twice the radius, and circumference and area can be used to find diameter or radius.

    Circumference and Area of Circles

    Parts of a Circle
    • Radius-Straight line from the middle to the
    outside of a circle

    radius
    • Diameter-a line that cuts the circle in half
    from end to end

    diameter
    Circumference
    • Circumference is the distance around the
    circle. Like the perimeter.
    Pi
    • Pie is a special number. It is the ratio of
    the circumference and the diameter


    • Pi goes on forever!!!!!!!!!!!

    • We approximate it using 3.14

      3.14

    going to estimate using 𝛑 = 3.14

    How Would You Find the Diameter if
    You Only Had the Circumference?
    • It’s easy!

    • When given circumference, to find


    diameter just divide by pi.
    Circumference = 𝛑d

    21.98 = 3.14d

    C = 21.98 cm

    d

    r
    Circumference = 𝛑d

    C = 37.68 m

    d

    r
    Circumference = 𝛑d

    C = 47.10 m

    What if you are given the diameter?
    • How can you find the radius if you only
    have the diameter?

    • The radius is half of the diameter

    • Diameter = 8 then radius =4


    Example
    Radius = 3

    Finding Radius and Diameter
    from Area
    • Just like you could find radius and
    diameter from circumference, you can find
    the radius and diameter from area by filling
    in known values and solving.
    Example

    Area = 𝛑r²

    Area = 78.50 cm²

    Radius =

    Diameter =
    Area = 314.00 cm²

    Radius =

    Diameter =
    Area = 200.96 cm²

    Radius =

    Diameter =
