Semi Circles

Circles: Finding the Area & Circumference

Applying the formulas for circumference and area of a circle to semi-circles.

Parts of Circle (quick review)

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

• r = radius d = diameter

• Diameter: d = 2r  or   d = 2・r

• Radius: r =  $\frac{d}{2}$  or   r = d ➗ 2

Multiple Choice

What is the diameter of this circle?

• 3.7 m

• 74 m

• 4 m

• 7.4 m

Multiple Choice

What is the radius of this circle?

• 13 ft

• 6.5 ft

Multiple Choice

If the the diameter of the large circle is 36 cm, what is the radius of each of the small circles?

• 12 cm

• 24 cm

• 18 cm

Finding Circumference & Area

• Circumference = π × Diameter or C =πD

    or  C=π2r or C=2πr

• Area = π × radius x radius   or   $Area\ =\ \pi\ x\ r^2\ \ or\ \ A=\pi r^2$
