    Circles: Lesson 1

    Uploaded by

    noctis28
    This geometry lesson defines key terms related to circles such as circumference, diameter, radius, and center. It explains that the circumference is the distance around the outside of the circle, while the diameter runs through the center and across the circle. The radius extends from the center to the edge of the circle. The lesson also describes the mathematical relationships between these parts, such as the diameter being twice the radius and the circumference approximately three times the diameter. It includes exercises for students to practice identifying and calculating values related to circles.

    Lesson 1
    Circles

    Learning Outcomes
    By the end of this lesson you will be better able to describe:
    • identify the centre, radius, diameter, and circumference of a circle
    • explain the relationships between parts of a circle

    Circumference

    Centre

    Diameter
    Radius

    Circumference is the distance around the outside of the circle. You may remember
    that the distance around other shapes is called perimeter. Circumference is the
    perimeter of a circle.

    The centre is the middle of the circle. Every place on the circumference of the circle
    is the exact same distance from the centre of the circle.

    The radius is the distance from the centre of the circle to the circumference. Radii
    is the plural of radius.

    The diameter is the distance from a point on the circumference, through the
    centre, across to another point on the circumference. The word diameter comes to
    English from Greek and means ‘to measure across’. A diameter cuts the circle into
    two halves.

    Geometry Lesson 1 Circles

    A diameter is the same length as two radii. If the radius of a circle is 3 cm, the
    diameter is 6 cm. Using symbols, those two sentences look like this:

    d = 2× r
    = 2 × 3 cm
    = 6 cm

    A radius is the same length as half of a diameter. If the diameter of a circle is 10 cm,
    the radius is 5 cm. Using symbols, those sentences look like this:

    1
    r = ×d
    2
    1
    = × 10 cm
    2
    = 5 cm

    Doodle a few circles of different sizes on a sheet of paper. Mark the centres. Notice
    that your small circles have a small diameter and a small circumference. Your larger
    circles have a larger diameter and a larger circumference. The diameter and the
    circumference are related—as one changes, so does the other. The circumference
    is approximately three times larger than the diameter. If the diameter of a circle is
    4 cm, the circumference is approximately 12 cm.

    C ≈ 3× d
    ≈ 3 × 4 cm
    ≈ 12 cm

    You’ll learn more about the relationship between circumference and diameter in
    your future math courses.
