Unit 4.5: Circles and Area

Lesson: Area of a Circle
Objectives:
Students will learn to calculate the area of a circle given the radius and diameter of
a circle. Students will solve a variety of questions involving area of a circle. Video Link
Procedure:
We need to review the concept of powers from grade 6 before we can start this lesson.
Grade 6 Review:
In grade 6, we learned that 6  6 could be written as 6 2 ,
2 Exponent
6 Base
Power The exponent tells you how

many times to multiply the
base by itself.
We took this further to:
6  6  6  63
6  6  6  6  64
6  6  6  6  6  65
Another example:
8  8  82
8  8  8  83
8  8  8  8  84
Unit 4.5 Area of a Circle Lesson.doc 1

From the examples above, how would you write:
(radius)  (radius) ?
Since there are two radii being multiplied by themselves, the answer is (radius)2 .
How would you write: (r )  (r ) ? By the same reasoning (r )  (r )  (r ) 2
So anything that is raised to the power of 2, means that you multiply it by itself twice.
Now that you know the power stuff, the formula for the area of a circle is:
A   r2 where A is the area,  is 3.14 and r is the radius.
radius
Example:
What is the area of the following circle?
A   r2
8cm
A  (3.14)(8) 2
A  (3.14)(64)
A  200.96cm 2

Example:
A circle has a diameter of 12cm, what is the area of the circle?
Radius is half the diameter, so radius is 6cm.
A   r2
Diameter=12cm
A  (3.14)(6)2
A  (3.14)(36)
A  113.04m 2
Example:
What is the area of the crosshatched portion?
A  ( r 2 )big A  ( r 2 ) small
A  (3.14)(142 ) A  (3.14)(102 )
A  (3.14)(196) A  (3.14)(100)
A  615.44cm 2 A  314
A  75.36cm 2
Radius = 14 cm Radius=10 cm
Area of Crosshatch = Area of large circle - Area of small circle
A  ( r 2 )big  ( r 2 ) small
A  615.44  314
A  301.44cm 2
(Move to coiled scribbler and do more subtraction questions.

Extra example 1
A circle with a radius of 10 cm has a square inside it with a side length of 3 cm. What is
the area outside the square, but inside the circle?
Example 2
A rectangle with a length of 12 cm and a width of 9 cm, has a circle in it with a radius of 2
cm. What is the area outside the circle, but inside the rectangle?
Example 3
A circle has diameter of 20 cm. Inside it are two circles side by side with diameters of 10
cm each. What is the area outside the two smaller circles but inside the larger circle?
Example 4
A rectangle has a length of 50 cm and a width of 30 cm. Inside the rectangle is a circle
with a radius of 10 cm, and a square with a side length of 5 cm. What is the area outside
the circle and square, but inside the larger rectangle?

Example:
What is the area outside the circle, but inside the square?
Area = Area of Square – Area of Circle

Radius=8m A  (lw)  ( r 2 )
A  (16)(16)  (3.14)(82 )
A  256  (3.14)(64)
A  256  200.96
A  55.04m 2

Example:
What is the area outside the small circles, but inside the large one?
Radius = 10cm
Radius = 8cm 40cm
30cm
Area of Crosshatch = Area of rectangle – area small circle – area of large circle
Area  lw   r 2big   r 2 small

Area  (40)(30)  3.14(102 )  3.14(82 )
Area  1200  314  200.96
Area  685.04cm 2

Lesson: Interpreting Circle Graphs
Objectives:
Students will learn to read circle graphs, and obtain information from the circle
graph by estimation and by calculation. Students will solve problems involving circle
graphs. Video Link. (Note the first circle graph is different from the video lesson)
Procedure:
We can use what we have learned about circles to interpret a graph called a circle graph.
Let’s look at the After-school Activities.
Which activity is most popular?

(Tie with video games and watching TV.
How do you know this from the graph?

(They are the largest sectors and are the
same size.)
Which activity is least popular?

(Babysitting)
Why would it be least?

(Few would want to).

(Smallest sector on the graph)
Which two activities are half the students?

(TV watching and video games)
Which two activities can make it closest to a quarter of the class?
(Babysitting and homework make 24%)
Write two more things you know about the graph?
Unit 4.6 Interpreting Circle Graphs.doc 1

Sometimes we need to find the amounts of things rather than just the percents. For
example, below is a circle graph of the favorite hobbies of 300 people. They were asked to
rate three hobbies in order of their preferences.
Favorite Hobbies
Eating
16% Biking
26%
Video Games
58%
How many people are in each category?
To calculate this we need to find the number of people in each sector.
Eating:
Since there are 16% of the people who like eating most, we need to find 16% of 300.
16  100  0.16
0.16  300  48
So 48 people liked eating the most out of the 300.

Biking:
Since there are 26% of the people who like biking most, we need to find 26% of 300.
26  100  0.26
0.26  300  78
So 78 people liked biking the most out of the 300.
The last category can be calculated by either using the percent or it can be calculated by
subtracting the two known numbers from the total.
Video Games:
300 – 78 – 48 = 174
174 students like to play video games.

Example:
During the Walmart Christmas sale, the manager noted that they sold the following items
from one of their clothing areas. If 871 items were sold, how many of each were
purchased? (Round the items to the nearest whole number)
Store Retail
socks
8%
shirts
27%
pants
20%
shoes
45%
Pants:
Since the pants were 20% of the purchases, we need to find 20% of 871.
20  100  0.2
0.2  871  174.2
So 174 of the purchases were pants.
Socks:
Since the socks were 8% of the purchases, we need to find 8% of 871.
8  100  0.08
0.08  871  69.68
So 70 of the purchases were socks.

Shirts:
Since the shirts were 27% of the purchases, we need to find 27% of 871.
27  100  0.27
0.27  871  235.17
So 235 of the purchases were shirts.
Shoes:
We can use subtraction to find the last item.
871 - 174 – 70 – 235 = 392
So 392 of the purchases were shoes.
