Bell Work: Write 2 formulas for the circumference of a circle.
2
Answer: C = πD C = 2πr

LESSON 40: AREA OF A CIRCLE
4
The area of a circle is related the the area of a square on the radius. The area of a circle is π times the area of a square on the radius. A formula for the area of a circle is A = πr 2 r r r 2
5
The area of a circle is related to the area of a square on its radius. The area is greater than the area of three of these squares but less than the area of four such squares.
6
The area of the circle is π times the area of the square of the radius as we see from the formula A = πr. 2
7
Example: A circular table in the library has a diameter of 6 feet. If four students sit around the table, then each student has about how many square feet of work area?
8
Answer: A = 3.14(9 feet ) A ≈ 28.26 feet 2 2
9
Example: Express the answers to (a) and (b) in terms of π. a) What is the circumference of this circle? b) What is the area of this circle? 6 inches
10
Answer: a)Radius = 6 Diameter = 12 Circumference = 12π inches b)Area = πr = π(6) = 6π inches 2 22
11
A sector of a circle is a portion of the interior of a circle enclosed by two radii and an arc which is part of the circle. The angle formed by the radii, called a central angle, determines the fraction of the area of the circle the sector occupies.

Central Angle
13
Practice: A lawn sprinkler waters a circular portion of a yard. The radius of the circular portion is 7 feet. Calculate the area of the yard watered by the sprinkler to the nearest square foot.
14
Answer: 22/7(7 feet) = 22/7(49 feet ) ≈154 feet 2 2 2
15
Practice: What effect does doubling the diameter of a circle have on the area of the circle?
16
Answer: Doubling the diameter doubles the radius. The radius is squared to calculate the area, so doubling the radius results in a circle with an area four times (2 ) as large. 2
17
Practice: Find the area of the sector. Express in terms of π. 45° 6 cm M R S
18
Answer: 45°/360° = 1/8 of the circle Area = πr = π(4 cm) = 16πcm Area of sector = 1/8 16πcm = 2πcm 2 2 2 2 2
19
Practice: Find the area of the sector. Express in terms of π. 16 cm
20
Answer: π(8 cm) = 64πcm Area of sector = ½(64πcm ) = 32πcm 2 2 2 2
