Circles – Circumference and Area Circumference – the distance around a circle

Circles – Circumference and Area Circumference – the distance around a circle It turns out, if you divide any circle by its diameter you get pi. Pi is a non- repeating, non-terminating decimal. We’ll always use 3.14 as an approximate value when calculating using Pi.

Circles – Circumference and Area Area of a Circle – the amount of square units inside the circle

Circles – Circumference and Area Area of a Circle – the amount of square units inside the circle Example 1:The radius of a circle is 3 inches. What is the area? Solution: = 3.14 · (3 in) · (3 in) = 3.14 · (9 in 2 ) = 28.26 in 2

Circles – Circumference and Area Area of a Circle – the amount of square units inside the circle Example 2 : The area of a circle is 78.5 square meters. What is its radius ? Solution :

Circles – Circumference and Area Knowing the circumference of a circle can help us find lengths of arcs in circles and central angle measurements. The total number of degrees in a circle = 360 degrees. We can use proportions to solve these problems.
