What is the relationship between the circumference and the area of a circle?

The circumference and area of a circle are related through the constant π, where the circumference is 2π times the radius, and the area is π times the square of the radius. Signup and view all the answers

Explain how the concept of radius is fundamental to understanding the properties of a circle.

The radius is a crucial measurement in understanding a circle, as it is used in formulas for both the circumference and the area. It is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on its outer line. Signup and view all the answers

How does the concept of area differ from the concept of circumference when considering a circle?

The area of a circle represents the space it occupies in a plane, while the circumference represents the distance around the outer line of the circle. The area is measured in square units, while the circumference is measured in linear units. Signup and view all the answers

What is a triangular prism and how is it constructed?

A triangular prism is a polyhedron made up of two triangular bases and three rectangular sides. It can be considered as a pentahedron wherein the edges and vertices of the bases are joined with each other by three rectangular sides. The two triangular bases are parallel and congruent to each other. Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Circle

Circumference is the distance of the outer line of the circle.
The area of a circle is the region occupied by it in a plane.

Triangular Prism

A triangular prism is a polyhedron made up of two triangular bases and three rectangular sides.
It can also be considered as a pentahedron (a 5-faced shape) with the edges and vertices of the bases joined with each other by three rectangular sides.
The two triangular bases are parallel and congruent to each other.
