What about the AREA of a circle?

2r

First consider a square

r

2r

The area of this square in terms of r is

A= 2r x2r = 4r2

What about the AREA of a circle?

2r Now consider a circle inside the square The area of the circle must be less than the are of the square r

2r

< 4r2

Area

= ? xr2

C= d or C=2 r

Semi-circle= r

Area of Rectangle= Base x Height

Area = r x r Area = r2

The Area and Perimeter of a Circle

A circle is defined by its diameter or radius
The perimeter or circumference of a circle is the distance around the outside The area of a circle is the space inside it
Diameter

The ratio of

circumference ! diameter

(pi)

is an irrational number whose value to 15 decimal places is

= 3.14159265358979.... The circumference is found using the formula C= d or C= 2 r (since d=2r)

We usually say 3.14 3.14 The area is found using the formula A= r2
