- C = 2πr
What is the formula for calculating the area of a circle?
What is the formula for calculating the area of a circle?
- A = πr
- A = 2πr²
- A = πr² (correct)
- A = 2πr
What is the difference between squaring the radius and doubling the radius?
What is the difference between squaring the radius and doubling the radius?
- There is no difference, they both give the same result
- Squaring means multiplying by 2, doubling means multiplying by itself
- Squaring means multiplying by itself, doubling means multiplying by 2 (correct)
- They are the same operation

How can the formula for circumference (C = πd) be derived using the radius?
What is the key difference between the formulas for circumference and area of a circle?
What is the key difference between the formulas for circumference and area of a circle?
Study Notes
- Formulas for calculating circumference and area of a circle are introduced in the video
- Circumference formula: C = πd, where C is circumference and d is diameter
- Area formula: A = πr², where A is area and r is radius
- Squaring the radius means multiplying it by itself (r² = r * r)
- Common mistake: thinking r² is the same as 2r; it's different because squaring is not the same as doubling
- Circumference = π x 2 x r can be derived from the formula C = πd, where d = 2r (diameter = 2 times radius)
- Difference between circumference and area formulas: for circumference, double the radius, for area, square the radius
- Real-world examples are used to demonstrate how to calculate circumference and area of circles
