1. Holt CA Course 1 10-5 Area of Circles MG1.2 Know common estimates of  (3.14; ) and use these values to estimate and calculate the circumference and the area of circles; compare with actual measurements. Also covered: AF3.1, AF3.2, t MG1.1 California Standards 22 7

2. Holt CA Course 1 10-5 Area of Circles A circle can be cut into equal-sized sectors and arranged to resemble a parallelogram. The height h of the parallelogram is equal to the radius r of the circle, and the base b of the parallelogram is equal to one-half the circumference C of the circle. So the area of the parallelogram can be written as A = bh, or A = 1212 Cr. Since C = 2  r, A = 1212 (2  r)r =  r 2.

4. Holt CA Course 1 10-5 Area of Circles Find the area of the circle by using a formula. Then use an estimate to check whether your answer is reasonable. Additional Example 1: Estimation Application A = r 2 A  3.14 · 3 2 A  3.14 · 9 A  28.26 square units Use the formula. Use 3.14 as an estimate for , and use 3 for r. Evaluate the power. Multiply.

5. Holt CA Course 1 10-5 Area of Circles Find the area of the circle by using a formula. then use an estimate to check whether your answer is reasonable. Additional Example 1 Continued 16 + 8 + ½(8) = 28 square units 16 squares are completely inside the circle. 8 squares are mostly inside the circle. Because 28 is close to 28.26, an answer of 28.26 square units is reasonable. Check Use the grid to estimate the area. 8 squares are halfway inside the circle.

Example 1 A = r 2 A  3.14 · 2 2 A  3.14 · 4 A  12.56 Use the formula. Use 3.14 as an estimate for , and use 2 for r. Evaluate the power. Multiply.

7. Holt CA Course 1 10-5 Area of Circles Find the area of the circle by using a formula. then use an estimate to check whether your answer is reasonable. Check It Out! Example 1 Continued 4 + 8 + = 12 square units 4 squares are completely inside the circle. 8 squares are mostly inside the circle. Because 12 is close to 12.56, an answer of 12.56 square units is reasonable. Check Use the grid to estimate the area.
