Area and Circumference of a Circle

Area and Circumference of a Circle

Terms, Values, and Formulas to Remember

• Radius - a straight line from the center to the circumference of a circle

• Diameter - a straight line passing from side to side through the center of a circle

• Diameter is twice the radius, i.e.,  $d=2\cdot r$  

•  $\pi=3.14$  
  

• Area of a Circle: $\pi\cdot r^2$  
  

• Circumference of a Circle:  $2\pi r$  or  $\pi\cdot d$
