Parts of a Circle • Radius-Straight line from the middle to the outside of a circle
Diameter-a line that cuts the circle in half from end to end
Circumference • Circumference is the distance around the circle. Like the perimeter.
Pi • Pie is a special number. It is the ratio of the circumference to the diameter
Pi goes on forever!!!!!!!!!!! • We approximate it using 3.14
Finding Circumference 6 · 3.14 = 18.84 in. 6𝛑 in. would be the exact answer, but we are going to estimate using 𝛑 = 3.14
C=pi*3 C= 9.42 in
C=pi*12 C= 37.70 in
What if you have the radius? The radius is half of the diameter C=25.13
Find the area C= 4 * pi C = 12.57
How Would You Find the Diameter if You Only Had the Circumference? Diameter= 10.19 in
Area of a Circle The Formula
Example 3.14 · 36 = 113.04 in²
What if you are given the diameter? • How can you find the radius if you only have the diameter? • The radius is half of the diameter • Diameter = 8 then radius =4
Example Radius = 3
Finding Radius and Diameter from Area • Just like you could find radius and diameter from circumference, you can find the radius and diameter from area by filling in known values and solving.
Example Area = 𝛑r² Area = 78.50 cm² Radius = Diameter =
Area = 314.00 cm² Radius = Diameter =
Area = 200.96 cm² Radius = Diameter =
