    Area of a Circle

    The amount of space enclosed within a circle, calculated by Area = πr².

    Circumference of a Circle

    The distance around the circle, calculated by Circumference = 2πr.

    Radius of a Circle

    The distance from the center to the circumference; half the diameter.

    Diameter of a Circle

    Twice the length of the radius, calculated by Diameter = 2r.

    Study Notes

    Area of a Circle

    • The area of a circle is the amount of space enclosed within the circle's boundary.
    • It is calculated using the formula: Area = πr², where 'r' represents the radius of the circle and 'π' (pi) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159.
    • A larger radius results in a larger area.

    Circumference of a Circle

    • The circumference of a circle is the distance around the circle's edge.
    • It is calculated using the formula: Circumference = 2πr, where 'r' represents the radius of the circle and 'π' (pi) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159.
    • A larger radius results in a larger circumference.

    Radius of a Circle

    • The radius of a circle is the distance from the center of the circle to any point on its circumference.
    • It is a crucial measurement for calculating both the area and circumference of a circle.
    • Knowing the radius allows for the calculation of other circle properties.
    • The radius is half the length of the diameter.
    • A larger radius indicates a larger circle.

    Relationship Between Radius, Diameter, Circumference, and Area

    • The diameter of a circle is twice the length of the radius (Diameter = 2r).
    • The formulas for area and circumference are directly dependent on the radius.
    • Any two of these values (radius, diameter, area, circumference) can be calculated if the third is known.
    • For example, if the area is known, the radius can be found by rearranging the area formula (Area = πr²).
