7 Introduction Part 6 This is the last part of Perimeter and area and deals with calculating the perimeters and areas of circles, semicircles and quadrants. Here you will use the asic formulas C = 2πr and A = πr 2 and learn how to modify them when dealing with parts of a circle. You will also solve prolems involving π and realise that there are a numer of approximations, such as 3.14 and 22, including the calculator display (giving its value to aout 7 ten decimal places or more if you use the calculator on a computer). Indicators By the end of Part 6, you will have een given the opportunity to work towards aspects of knowledge and skills including: developing, from the definition of π, formulas to calculate the circumference of circles in terms of the radius and diameter: C = 2πr and C = πd developing y dissection and using the formula to calculate the area of circles A = πr 2. By the end of Part 6, you will have een given the opportunity to work mathematically y: finding the area and perimeter of quadrants and semicircles finding radii of circles given their circumference or area solving prolems involving π and an approximate answer using 22 7, 3.14 or a calculator s approximation for π. comparing the perimeter of a regular hexagon inscried in a circle with the circle s circumference to demonstrate that π > 3.

Activity Preliminary quiz Try these. 1 Use your calculator to write the value of π a c correct to one decimal place correct to two decimal places correct to four decimal places 2 Throughout history various approximations for π have een given. Here are some. Use your calculator to write each of these correct to five decimal places. 22 a 7 = 9.87 = c d = = e = Which of these values is closest to the value of π given y your calculator?

12 8 MS4.1 Perimeter and area

13 Circumference of a circle In an earlier session you found that the value of circumference diameter circle produces a value a little over three. for a Mathematicians call this numer π (pronounced pie ) and it does not have an exact value. From your calculator you can see that π , and for most calculations this is all the accuracy you need. So you can write: circumference = π or using C for diameter circumference, and d for diameter, C d = π. i c r c u m f e r e n c e diameter diameter, d radius, r This gives a useful formula for finding the circumference of a circle: C = πd (circumference = π diameter ). As the diameter is doule the radius, another useful formula is: C = 2πr (circumference = 2 π radius). (Unless you particularly like rememering formulas, just rememer one of these say, C = 2πr, and adjust it when given the diameter.) Part 6 Aout circles 9

14 Follow through the steps in this example. Do your own working in the margin if you wish. Calculate the circumference of this circle having radius 3.5 cm. 3.5 cm Solution C = 2πr = 2 π 3.5 = cm (two decimal places) You do not need to enter for π. Most calculators have a π key. Check with your calculator. You might e ale to access it directly, or you might need to press the SHIFT nd, 2 F, or INV key first. When π is pressed on your calculator the screen fills up with numers. Most of these are not significant. So when you calculated 2 π 3.5 you could have written But the radius of this circle is 3.5 cm, rounded correct to one decimal place. Rememer, that all measurements are not exact ut approximations to a certain level of accuracy. If the radius is 3.49 cm, the circle s circumference is cm (correct to three decimal places). If the radius is 3.51 cm, the circumference is cm 3.49 cm c = cm 3.51 cm c = cm As a simple rule, give your answer to the same numer of decimal places as the radius (or diameter) or, at most, one more decimal place. So the answer to the example aove should e given as cm (correct to two decimal places), or 22.0 cm (correct to one decimal place). 10 MS4.1 Perimeter and area

15 Follow through the steps in this example. Do your own working in the margin if you wish. The circumference of a circle is 50 cm. Calculate its radius. r cm circumference = 50 cm (If a diagram is not provided, draw one and write on all relevant information.) Solution C = 2πr 50 = 2 π r r = 50 2 π = 7.96 cm In this example, the circumference was known ut its radius was not. Write all relevant numers in the formula then rearrange to find r. 50 Be careful when calculating. You need to keep the 2 π together 2 π on your calculator. One way is to use grouping symols: 50 (2 π) =. Always estimate your answer eforehand so you have a fair idea that the answer you arrive at with your calculator appears correct. Developing techniques like this will take a little practice. Mmmm! π = 3, so 50 2 π 50 6 which is aout 8. Part 6 Aout circles 11

16 Activity Circumference of a circle Try these. 1 Calculate the circumference of the circle given its radius is 12.6 cm cm 2 A circle has circumference 7.5 m. Calculate its diameter. Check your response y going to the suggested answers section. Do some more prolems to reinforce your understanding of the circumference of a circle and its properties. Go to the exercises section and complete Exercise 6.1 Circumference of a circle. 12 MS4.1 Perimeter and area

17 Semicircles and quadrants The perimeter around the rim of a circle is the circumference and may e calculated using either C = πd or C = 2πr where C is the circumference, d is the diameter and r is the radius. A circle can e divided into two semicircles. The curved part of the semicircle is half the circumference of the whole circle. So the perimeter of a semicircle is: Perimeter = curved part + diameter πr P = 1 2 π r + 2r 2 =πr + 2r Using the diameter instead of the radius, P = 1 2 πd + d diameter = 2r semi-circle The perimeter of a semicircle includes oth the curved portion (which is half the circumference of a complete circle) and the length of the diameter. Follow through the steps in this example. Do your own working in the margin if you wish. Calculate the perimeter of this semicircle, correct to one decimal place cm Part 6 Aout circles 13

18 Solution The length of the curved part is 1 2 π d = 1 π = 20.1 cm So P = curved part + diameter = = 32.9 cm There is no need to rememer either formula. Just uild up the perimeter y realising you must add together the two portions. Some students prefer formulas using radii. It is easy to change since radius = 1 2 diameter. Activity Semicircles and quadrants Try this. 1 Calculate the perimeter of this semicircle, correct to one decimal place. 7.4 m Check your response y going to the suggested answers section. A circle can e divided into four quadrants. The curved part of the quadrant is one quarter the circumference of the whole circle. So the perimeter of a quadrant is: 14 MS4.1 Perimeter and area

19 Perimeter = curved part + two radii P = 1 2 π r + 2r 4 = 1 πr + 2r πr radius, r radius, r Using the diameter instead of the radius, P = 1 4 πd + d quadrant Just as efore, there is no need to rememer these formulas. Just e ale to find the lengths of each part then add them together. Follow through the steps in this example. Do your own working in the margin if you wish. Calculate the perimeter of this quadrant, correct to one decimal place. Solution The length of the curved part is: 1 2 π r = 1 2 π 5.3 = 8.3 m So P = curved part + 2 radius = = 18.9 m 5.3 m Sometimes a radius will e given, at other times a diameter will e provided. You need to e ale to calculate the perimeter using either. Part 6 Aout circles 15

20 Activity Semicircles and quadrants Try this. 2 Calculate the perimeter of this quadrant, correct to one decimal place cm Check your response y going to the suggested answers section. Now its time for you to have some more practice solving prolems that involve semicircles and quadrants. Go to the exercises section and complete Exercise 6.2 Semicircles and quadrants. 16 MS4.1 Perimeter and area

21 Area of a circle In an earlier session you determined that the area of a circle is aout three times the square of the radius. Earlier you also learned that the formula for the circumference of a circle is C = 2πr or C = πd where r and d are the radius and diameter. When you cut up the sectors in = πd or C = the circle and joined them up as shown you produced a shape close to a rectangle. C 2πr This approximate rectangle has a length of half the circumference (πr ) and readth equal to the radius ( r). So its area is length readth: r half circumference = πr readth = r A = πr r length = πr = πr 2 So the area of a circle is: A = πr 2 Follow through the steps in this example. Do your own working in the margin if you wish. Calculate the area of a circle whose radius is 4 cm. (Leave your answer in exact form. That is, with the π in it). r = 4 cm Part 6 Aout circles 17

22 Solution A = πr 2 = π 4 2 = 16π cm 2 Like all areas, the area of a circle is measured in square units. Here the units are square centimetres. Activity Area of a circle Try this. 1 Calculate the area of the circle, giving your answer in exact form and also correct to one decimal place. 8 cm Check your response y going to the suggested answers section. Even if you were not asked to provide the answer correct to one decimal place, you should limit your answer to at most one or two decimal places, given that the radius was provided to the nearest whole numer. Sometimes you might e given the area of the circle and you need to find its radius (or diameter). 18 MS4.1 Perimeter and area

23 Follow through the steps in this example. Do your own working in the margin if you wish. Calculate the radius of this circle. r m area = 24.7 m 2 Solution A = πr = πr 2 r 2 = 24.7 π (dividing oth sides y π) r = 24.7 π = 2.8 m (correct to one decimal place) Sustitute in the values given, then rearrange to find the value of the radius, r. Activity Area of a circle Try this. 2 Calculate the diameter of this circle, correct to two decimal places. (Hint: calculate the radius first.) d cm area = 67.3 cm 2 Check your response y going to the suggested answers section. Part 6 Aout circles 19

24 Don t round off until the end. Keep the value of the radius to one or two more decimal places. If you round off as you go along you will lose accuracy. Practise these skills more with the prolems in the exercise. Go to the exercises section and complete Exercise 6.3 Area of a circle. 20 MS4.1 Perimeter and area

25 Areas of parts of circles The area of a circle is A = πr 2. So the area of a semicircle is half this, while the area of a quadrant is one quarter this. A = 1 2 πr2 A = 1 4 πr2 Follow through the steps in this example. Do your own working in the margin if you wish. Calculate the area of this semicircle giving your answer in terms of π, and also correct to one decimal place. 10 cm Solution The radius of the semicircle is 5 cm. A = 1 2 πr2 = 1 2 π 5 2 = 25 2 π cm2 (exact form) = 39.3 cm 2 (one decimal place) Part 6 Aout circles 21

26 Rememer to check your answer mentally, so you can see if the answer given y your calculator appears correct. As π is aout 3, then: 25 2 π = = 37.5 So your answer of 39.3 appears correct. Activity Areas of parts of circles Try these. 1 Calculate these areas, giving your answers in exact form, and also correct to one decimal place. a 24 cm 3 m Check your response y going to the suggested answers section. You should now consolidate this learning y doing the exercise. Go to the exercises section and complete Exercise 6.4 Areas of parts of circles. 22 MS4.1 Perimeter and area

27 Composite shapes Composite shapes are made up of two or more simple shapes. In earlier parts you dealt with shapes made up of squares, rectangles and triangles. Here you will consider shapes that contain parts of circles. The techniques you learned to find the perimeters and areas of such shapes apply here. Follow through the steps in this example. Do your own working in the margin if you wish. The shaded shape is called an arelos. Calculate the area and perimeter of the arelos, leaving your answers in terms of π. 14 cm 6 cm Part 6 Aout circles 23

28 Solution To calculate the area There are three semicircles. The largest has a radius of 10 cm Its area is 1 2 π r 2 = 1 2 π 102 = 50π cm 2 The other two semicircles have areas 49 2 π cm2 and 9 2 π cm2. (These circles have radii of 7 cm and 3 cm respectively.) The area of the arelos is the largest area minus the two smaller areas. Area of arelos = 50π 49 2 π 9 2 π = 21π cm2. To calculate the perimeter There are three semicircles, ut you only need to calculate the arc lengths of them. The largest has arc length: π r = π 10 =10π cm The other two semicircles have arc lengths 7π cm and 3π cm. So the perimeter of the arelos is the sum of the arc lengths. P = 10π + 7π + 3π = 20π cm You need to decide with composite shapes which parts need to e added and which sutracted. By examining the shape first you should e ale to quickly determine this. 24 MS4.1 Perimeter and area

29 Activity Composite shapes Try this. 1 This shape is made up of a quadrant of a circle and a triangle. a What is the length of BD?

Part 6 Aout circles 25

30 g Calculate the total area of the composite shape. Check your response y going to the suggested answers section. Now you should practise determining the area of composite shapes some more to consolidate your learning.
