    Study Notes

    Area of a Circle

    • The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr², where A is the area and r is the radius.
    • Doubling the radius increases the area by a factor of four. If r is doubled to 2r, then A becomes π(2r)² = 4πr².

    Calculating Area with Diameter

    • To calculate the area of a circle with a diameter of 10 units, first find the radius which is 5 units (diameter / 2).
    • Use the area formula: A = π(5)² = 25π square units.

    Estimating with π

    • For an estimation of the area of a circle as approximately 3.14, use π ≈ 3.14. This approximation simplifies calculations.

    Effect of Reducing Radius

    • Reducing the radius by half results in the area being reduced to one-fourth its original size. If r is halved to 0.5r, then A becomes π(0.5r)² = 0.25πr².
