  1. Circles and Circumference Lesson 9-5

  2. Vocabulary • A circle is a plane figure that consists of a set of points that are equidistant from a given point called the center. • The circumference of a circle is the distance around it.

  3. Identifying the Parts of a Circle A radius is a line segment that connects the outside of the circle to its center.

  4. A diameter is a line segment with both endpoints on the circle that passes through the center.

  5. A chord is a line segment whose endpoints are on the circle. Chords do not have to pass through the center of the circle. However, if a chord does pass through the center, it is also considered a diameter.

  6. Numerical Relationships • A radius is exactly one-half of a diameter. • Therefore a diameter is twice a radius. If the radius is 5.5 cm, then the diameter is ___________ cm. 11 5.5 cm

  7. Circumference • Remember, circumference is the distance around the circle. • If you divide a circle’s circumference by its diameter, you always get the same irrational number – pi (symbol: ¶ ) • This is true of every circle. • We estimate pi to be 3.14 or the fraction 22/7.

  8. Circumference Formulas C = ¶d C = 2¶r

  9. Example C = ¶d C = (3.14)(41) 41 m C = 128.74 m We substitute 3.14 in for pi.
