Ms. Woodman s Mathematics Name: Period: Geometry: Draw, construct, and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them. Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume. Common Core State Standard 7.G.4 Know the formulas for the area and the circumference of a circle and use them to solve problems; give an informal derivation of the relationship between the circumference and area of a circle. Circumference: The formula for CIRCUMFERENCE of a circle is: C = π X d (Circumference = Pi times Diameter) Where = 3.14. The distance around a CIRCLE is called its circumference. The distance across a circle through its center is called its diameter. We use the Greek letter to represent the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter. The diameter of a circle is twice as long as the RADIUS. This relationship is expressed in the following formula: d = 2 x r. Example: What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 2m? Radius = r = 2 Diameter = r + r Circumference = π d = π d = π (2 + 2) = 3.14 X 4 = 12.56 m
Circumference: CIRCUMFERENCE of a circle is: C = π x d π = 3.14 d = diameter r = radius diameter = r + r or 2r Find the unknown length for each circle: 1. r = 35 mi, d =? 2. d = 6.8 yd, r =? 3. r = 18 ft, d =? 4. d = 0.25 km, r =? 5.

Ms. Woodman s Mathematics Name: Period: Geometry: Draw, construct, and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them. Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume. Common Core State Standard 7.G.4 Know the formulas for the area and the circumference of a circle and use them to solve problems; give an informal derivation of the relationship between the circumference and area of a circle. The area of a circle is the number of square units inside that circle. If each square in the circle to the left has an area of 1 cm 2, you could count the total number of squares to get the area of this circle. Thus, if there were a total of 28.26 squares, the area of this circle would be 28.26 cm 2 However, it is easier to use one of the following formulas: where A is the area, and r is the radius. AREA of a CIRCLE or A = π x r x r or A = π x r 2 AREA: Example: What is the area of a circle with radius of 3 m? Radius = r = 3 Area = π r 2 = π 3 2 = π (3 3) = 3.14159... 9 = 28.27 m 2 ( rounded to 2 decimal places)
AREA AREA of a CIRCLE or A = π x r x r or A = π x r 2 A is the area r is the radius. Find the AREA of the following circles: Use 3.14 for π Round answers to the nearest tenth. 1. r = 1.1 m 2. d = 2.4 cm 3. r = 0.5 m 4. d = 13.7 ft 5. Find the AREA of the circle below:
