Circles: Parts of A Circle Area & Circumference

The document defines key terms related to circles such as radius, diameter, circumference, and area. It provides formulas for calculating the circumference (C=2πr or C=πd) and area (A=πr^2) of a circle using either the radius or diameter. Examples are given applying the formulas to find circumference or area when given specific radius or diameter values.

RADIUS = ½ OF DIAMETER
 If the radius is 5 cm, what is the diameter? 10 cm
 If the diameter is 32 ft, what is the radius? 16 ft

diameter? 116 cm radius? 39 cm
CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE
 Formula is C = 2r (2 x Pi x Radius)
or
C = d (Pi x Diameter)

 Remember… = 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 = r2 (Pi x Radius Squared)

radius
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
= 3.14 × 2 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
Calculate the diameter… Calculate the radius…
