37. 41 m C = (3.14)(41) C = 128.74 m We substitute 3.14 in for pi.

39. 8 mm A = (3.14)( 8 2 ) A =(3.14)(64) A = 200.96 mm 2

40. 13 cm If you are given a diameter, divide it in half to find the radius. 13 divided by 2 equals 6.5 cm. A = (3.14)(6.5 2 ) A = (3.14)(42.25) A = 132.665 cm 2

41. A circle is defined by its diameter or radius Diameter radius The perimeter or circumference of a circle is the distance around the outside The area of a circle is the space inside it The ratio of π (pi) π is an irrational number whose value to 15 decimal places is π = 3.14159265358979.... We usually say π≈3.14 The circumference is found using the formula C=π d or C= 2πr (since d=2r) The area is found using the formula A=πr 2

42. Finding circumference Naming the parts of a circle Finding the area of circles

43. Use the appropriate formula to find the area of each piece. Add the areas together for the total area.

44. |27 cm | 10 cm 24 cm Split the shape into a rectangle and triangle. The rectangle is 24cm long and 10 cm wide. The triangle has a base of 3 cm and a height of 10 cm.

45. Rectangle A = lw A = 24(10) A = 240 cm 2 Triangle A = ½ bh A = ½ (3)(10) A = ½ (30) A = 15 cm 2 Total Figure A = A 1 + A 2 A = 240 + 15 = 255 cm 2
