1. Geometry Honors Section 5.3 Circumference and Area of Circles

2. While the distance around the outside of a polygon is known as the ________, the distance around the outside of a circle is called the ____________.
perimeter
circumference

3. For any circle, the ratio of the circumference to the diameter, , is the same. This ratio is approximately equal to ___________. We use the Greek letter ____ to represent this irrational number. A fractional approximation is _____.

4. Once again, = , so C = ____ or in terms of the radius C = ______

5. Activity 2 on page 316 explains how the formula for the area of a circle is derived. A = ______

6. Example: Find the circumference and area of a circle with a diameter of 12. Give an exact answer and an answer rounded to the nearest 1000th.

7. Example: Find the area of a circle with a circumference of .

8. Example: Find the area of the shaded region
Example: Find the area of the shaded region. Give an exact answer and an answer rounded to the nearest 1000th.

9. A sector of a circle is the region bounded by two radii and the arc joining there outer endpoints.

10. Example: Find the area of sector AQB.

11. As you can see from the previous example, the area of a sector = OR

12. Example: A circle has a diameter of 30 feet
Example: A circle has a diameter of 30 feet. If the area of a sector in this circle has a measure of ft2, find the measure of arc determining this sector.

13. A similar formula can be used to find the length of an arc
A similar formula can be used to find the length of an arc.   Length of an arc = OR  

14. Example: A circle has a radius of 6 cm
Example: A circle has a radius of 6 cm. If an arc has a measure of 800, find the length of the arc.

15. Example: An arc has a measure of 300 and a length of inches
Example: An arc has a measure of 300 and a length of inches. What is the radius of the circle in which this arc is found?

16. Note: The “measure of an arc” and the “length of an arc” are not the same thing. The measure of an arc is given in _______ and refers to ___________________ The length of an arc is given in __________ and refers to _______________________
degrees
a fraction of the circle.
in / cm / ft
the distance along the arc.
