1Circumference and Area of Circles
2 The circumference of a circle is
the distance around a circle
3First we must define some things about a circle.
The radius is the distance from
the center of a circle to any point
on a circle.
Hint I like to define it as halfway through!
4The diameter is the distance across a circle
through the center.
Hint The distance all the way across!
5We use Pi as the measurement to help us
find the circumference of a circle.
Pi, not Pie!
6Hint Pi 3.14
7Circumference Formulas
4in.
(pi x diameter)
8When the radius of a circle is given, the
following formula should be used.
Hint Always round your answers to the nearest
tenth.
31.4cm
9NOWLets have some fun.
Tell me what formula would be used to solve the
next five problems.
10C 2 x 3.14 x r
11C 3.14 d
12C 2 x 3.14 x r
13C 3.14 d
14C 2 x 3.14 x r
15Now that we have determined the correct formula
for each, lets work the problems.
16C 2 x 3.14 x r
C 2 x 3.14 x 3
The answer is 18.8in
17C 3.14 d
C 3.14 x 8ft
The answer is 25.1ft
18C 2 x 3.14 x r
C 2 x 3.14 x 122
The answer is 766.2mm
19C 3.14 d
C 3.14 x 17.5 cm
The answer is 55 cm
