    reem atiah
    This document discusses the main parts of a circle and how to calculate the circumference and area of a circle. It defines key terms like diameter, radius, and circumference. It explains that the circumference can be calculated using the formula C=πd, where d is the diameter. Similarly, the area can be found using the formula A=πr^2, where r is the radius. Several examples are provided to demonstrate how to use these formulas to find the circumference or area given the diameter or radius of various circles.

    We can use a ruler to measure the diameter.

    How can we measure


    the circumference?
    The Circumference

    When doing circle calculations, you


    will normally use a calculator.

    Some calculators have a button like this: 


    This button stores to 8 or 9 decimal places
    which is more than accurate enough! 3.141592654

    If your calculator
    doesn’t have 
    Then use 3.14 instead.
    ALWAYS
    ASK
    YOURSELF If you are finding
    the circumference:

    20cm What is the


    diameter?
    20
    Then do
    C= d
    C= 62.84
    Find the
    Circumference C=d
    C= x6
    6cm C = 18.8cm (1 d.p.)

    What is the
    diameter?
    Press 
    6 Then x6=
    Find the
    circumference

    d = 2 x 5 = 10cm
    10cm
    C= d
    C =  x 10
    5cm

    C = 31.4cm (1 d.p.)
    What is the
    diameter? Remember:
    diameter = 2 x
    10
    radius
    The Circumference

    On your worksheet use


    C= d
    to work out the
    circumference of each
    circle.

    To find the area we could try counting
    the squares inside the circle…

    There is a much
    more accurate way!
    Area of a circle

    There is a special
    formula for the
    area of a circle.

    A=  r²
    ALWAYS
    ASK
    YOURSELF If you are finding
    the AREA

    10cm What is the


    RADIUS?
    10
    Then do

    A=  r²
    A = 314.16
    Find the
    area A=  r²
    A =  4²
    4m A = 50.3m² (1 d.p.)

    Press 

    r = ½ x 14 = 7cm

    A = r²

    A = 7²

    ? A = 153.9cm² (1 d.p.)

    The AREA

    On your worksheet use


    A=  r²
    to work out the area of
    each circle.
    BONUS
    A=  r²
    r = ½ x 24 = 12m
    ?
    12m A=  12²
    24m
    A = 452.4m² (1 d.p.)
    What is the area of
    this semi-circle? Area of semi-circle
    = ½ x 452.4 =226.2m²
