How To Derive The Formulae of Area and Circumference of Circle

The document discusses how to derive the formulas for the area and circumference of a circle. It explains that the circumference of a circle is the perimeter and can be found by imagining the circle straightened into a line segment, whose length is the circumference. The circumference formula is given as C = 2πr or C = πd. It also explains that the area of a circle can be found by imagining the circle cut into pieces like a pizza and rearranged into a rectangle, where the area is given by the formula A = πr^2.

How in the world would you find
the circumference of a circle?
The circumference of a circle is the
perimeter of the circle.

Imagine that the circle is


straightening itself out in to a line
segment

The length of this line segment is the circumference of


the circle. 314 units
The circumference = 3 diameters + .14 of another
diameter.

That is C = 3.14 x Diameter


(Π)
So, circumference = 3.14 x diameter = Π x 2r = 2 Π
C = Π x Diameter
r
For
Andeg,
Π isIfthe
D ratio
= 14,of =r Circumference
= 2, So circumference
/ Diameter = 3.14 x 14
units
How in the world would
you find the area of a
circle?
Imagine chopping up the Now, let’s rearrange
circle as if it were a pizza. our “pizza” into
another shape
(rectangle).

To find the area of the circle (which is now a


rectangle), we just need to multiply the Base by
the Height.

Base = Half the circumference = 2 Π r /2 = Π r

Height = Radius = r

So Area of rectangle = Area of Circle = Π r x r = Π r²


For eg, r = 7 units, Area of circle = Π x 7 x 7 = 49 Π
