Circumference of a Circle

Circumference and Area of Circles Review

I can use the formulas for circumference and area of circles and semi-circles.

Parts of a Circle

• Circle: a set of all points that are equidistant from another single point called the center.

  
  

• r = radius ; D = diameter

  Diameter = 2 x radius or D = 2r

   radius=Diamater/2 or r=D/2

Multiple Choice

Determine the radius of the penny

• 59.66 mm
• 9.5 mm
• 38 mm
• 119.32 mm

Multiple Choice

Is the red line a radius or diameter of the circle?

• Radius

• Diameter

An Important Question

Circumference and Area

• Circumference = π ×Diameter

  C =πD

  Since D=2xr then C=2πr

     

  Area =π ×radius ×radius

  or A=π x r^2

  A=π x r2
