    Study Notes

    Circle Properties

    • A circle is a 2D shape with a single point in the center, surrounded by a continuous round line.
    • The radius of a circle is the length of a straight line segment connecting the center to any point on the edge.
    • The diameter is the length of a straight line segment connecting two points on the opposite side of the circle, passing through the center.
    • The diameter is twice as long as the radius.
    • A line connecting two points on the edge of a circle without passing through the center is called a chord.
    • The circumference is the length of the round edge of the circle.
    • The area of the circle is the space enclosed within the edge, including the center.

    Circumference Equation

    • The ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle is a constant number called pi (π), approximately equal to 3.14.
    • The circumference equation is C = πd or C = 2πr, where C is the circumference, d is the diameter, and r is the radius.
    • The units of circumference are always units of length (e.g., centimeters, inches, meters).

    Circumference Meaning

    • The word "circumference" comes from the Latin prefix "circum-", meaning "around or round about".
    • In math, the circumference refers to the length of the literal line that surrounds and forms a circle.

    Real-World Applications

    • The circumference equation can be used to solve problems involving circles in real-life situations, such as:
      • Calculating the length of railing needed for a circular patch of grass.
      • Determining the diameter of a planet based on the distance traveled by a satellite in its circular orbit.
    • Professionals who use circumference in their work include:
      • Artists
      • Fashion designers
      • Engineers
      • Homeowners
      • Scientists
      • Architects
      • Cake decorators
      • Physicists
