The strange thing is that the answer you get can only ever be approximate - that is, you can never have an exact value for pi. This has fascinated mathematicians for a very long time and they have kept trying to find ways to calculate values for pi that are more accurate. p = 3.14159 26535 89793 23846 26433 83279 50288 41972 ... ``May I have a large container of coffee?''
``Now I will a rhyme construct, By chosen words the young instruct. Cunningly devised endeavour, Con it and remember ever. Widths in circle here you see, Sketched out in strange obscurity.''
Learning Objective: To find the circumference and area of a circle The Circle
Circumference = π× diameter Circumference circumference diameter
Area = π× radius × radius = π× radius2 Area radius area
Circumference is π x diameter π x diameter π x diameter Circumference is π x diameter Area is πr2
Circumference = π× diameter Example 1 Find the circumference of this circle circumference Circumference = π× 4 = 12·57cm (2 d.p.) 4cm
Circumference = π× diameter Example 2 Find the circumference of this circle circumference Circumference = π× 16 = 50·27cm (2 d.p.) 8cm
Area = π× radius × radius Example 1 Find the area of this circle 7cm Area = π× 7 × 7 = 153·94cm² (2 d.p.) area
Area = π× radius × radius Example 2 Find the area of this circle 10cm Area = π× 5 × 5 = 78·54cm² (2 d.p.) area
Circumference = π× diameter Circumference = π× 9 = 28·27cm (2 d.p.) Question 1 Find the circumference and area of this circle 9cm Area = π× radius × radius Area = π× 4·5 × 4·5 = 63·62cm² (2 d.p.)
Circumference = π× diameter Circumference = π× 12 = 37·70cm (2 d.p.) Question 2 Find the circumference and area of this circle 6 cm Area = π× radius × radius Area = π× 4·5 × 4·5 = 113·10cm² (2 d.p.)
