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 π (pi)
- Circumference = π × diameter
Area of a Circle
- The formula for finding the area of a circle is: Area = π × radius²
- If the radius is not given, the formula can be rewritten as: Area = (π × diameter²) / 4
Calculating the Area of a Circle
- If the radius is 10 centimeters, the area of the circle is: π × 10² = approximately 314 square centimeters
- If the diameter is 14 inches, the area of the circle is: (π × 14²) / 4 = approximately 153.94 square inches
The Role of π in Finding the Area of a Circle
- π (pi) represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159
- π is used to calculate the area of a circle as it is a fundamental constant in circle geometry
