CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE
Formula is C = 2πr (2 x Pi x Radius)
or
C = πd (Pi x Diameter)

Remember…π = 3.14 (approximately)

*You can use either formula depending on


what they give you in the original problem
The circumference of a circle

Use π = 3.14 to find the circumference of the following circles:

C = πd 9m C = 2πr
4 cm
= 3.14 × 4 = 2 × 3.14 × 9
= 12.56 cm = 56.52 m

C = πd C = 2πr
58 cm
23 mm = 3.14 × 23 = 2 × 3.14 × 58
= 72.22 mm = 364.24 cm
AREA OF A CIRCLE
Formula is A = πr2 (Pi x Radius Squared)

The area of a circle

Use π = 3.14 to find the area of the following circles:

2 cm A = πr2 A = πr2
10 m
2
= 3.14 × 2 = 3.14 × 52
= 12.56 cm2 = 78.5 m2

A = πr2 A = πr2
78 cm
23 mm = 3.14 × 232 = 3.14 × 392
= 1661.06 mm2 = 4775.94 cm2
Finding the Radius or Diameter

• Circumference • Area

C = 5 in. A = 8.9 m2
