Study Notes

Circumference and Diameter of a Circle

  • The circumference of a circle is directly proportional to its diameter, with a constant of proportionality equal to Ï€ (pi)
  • Circumference = Ï€ × diameter

Area of a Circle

  • The formula for finding the area of a circle is: Area = Ï€ × radius²
  • If the radius is not given, the formula can be rewritten as: Area = (Ï€ × diameter²) / 4

Calculating the Area of a Circle

  • If the radius is 10 centimeters, the area of the circle is: Ï€ × 10² = approximately 314 square centimeters
  • If the diameter is 14 inches, the area of the circle is: (Ï€ × 14²) / 4 = approximately 153.94 square inches

The Role of π in Finding the Area of a Circle

  • Ï€ (pi) represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159
  • Ï€ is used to calculate the area of a circle as it is a fundamental constant in circle geometry
