    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
