Study Notes

Area of a Circle

  • The formula for the area of a circle is A = Ï€r², 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 Ï€(2r)² = 4Ï€r².

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 = Ï€(5)² = 25Ï€ square units.

Estimating with π

  • For an estimation of the area of a circle as approximately 3.14, use Ï€ ≈ 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 Ï€(0.5r)² = 0.25Ï€r².
