Quarter 4 – Module 1:
Area of a Circle
Introductory Message

This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear

learners, can continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities,
questions, directions, exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you
to understand each lesson.

Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you
step-by-step as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.

Pre-tests are provided to measure the prior knowledge on lessons in

each SLM. This will tell you if you need to proceed on completing this module
or if you need to ask your facilitator or your teacher’s assistance for better
understanding of the lesson. At the end of each module, you need to answer
the post-test to self-check your learning. Answer keys are provided for each
activity and test. We trust that you will be honest in using these.

In addition to the material in the main text, Notes to the Teacher are
also provided to our facilitators and parents for strategies and reminders on
how they can best help you on your home-based learning.

Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on
any part of this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises
and tests. And read the instructions carefully before performing each task.

If you have any questions in using this SLM or any difficulty in

answering the tasks in this module, do not hesitate to consult your teacher
or facilitator.

Thank you.

 What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to
help you master area of a circle. The scope of this module permits it to be
used in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the
diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the
standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can
be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.

The module is divided into two lessons, namely:

• Lesson 1 – Area of a circle (M5ME-IVA-74)

• Lesson 2 – Solving routine and non-routine problems involving area
of a circle (M5ME-IVB-75)

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. visualize area of a circle;

2. derive a formula in finding the area of a circle;
3. find the area of a circle; and
4. solve routine and non-routine problems involving the area of a circle.

 Lesson
Finding the Area of a Given
1 Circle

The area of the circle is the region or space occupied inside of an enclosed
circle. In simple words, if we want to know the space covered inside of a circle,
we refer to it as the area. Area of a circle can be determined using the formula
A=π × r × r or A = 𝜋𝑟 2 , whereas A is the area of the circle, r represents the
radius of the circle and π is a Greek letter pronounced “pi” which has an
equivalent value of 3.14 (the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter).

Through this module you will be able to learn how to solve the area of a
circle by using the formula A=π × r × r or A = 𝜋𝑟 2.

What’s In

On the previous lesson we were able to understand that the ratio of the
circumference of a circle to the diameter is the same for all circles. The
circumference of any circle is about 3.14 times the diameter. The ratio is
represented by the Greek letter π spelled pi.

Directions: Complete the table below. Perform this on a sheet of paper.

Circle Radius Diameter Circumference

A 24 cm

B 40 m

C 35 cm

D 34.5 m

Lesson Solving Routine and

2 Non-routine Problems
Involving Area of Circle

When we asked to find the area of a circle we used the formula A=π × r ×
r or A = 𝜋𝑟 2 . It is important to know how to solve for the area of a certain
object since it has many practical application in real life situation such as in
building, architecture, sports, science and even in deciding what will be the
size particularly the area of the circular table you will put in your dining room.

Notes to the Teacher

Guide your learners to understand and find an easy
way to solve for the area of a circle. As a teacher it is your
task to help them develop their ability to solve problems
as it may apply in their real life situation.

 What’s New

Study the problem below and answer the following questions. Perform
this on a sheet of paper.

Example 1

A circular fountain with a 7m radius lies at the center of a circular park

with a diameter of 50 meters. How much area is left in the circular park?

1. What is the shape of the park?

2. What is asked in the problem?

3. What is the hidden question?

4. What are the given facts?

10
 What is It

Notice that there are two types of word problems you may encounter. It
could be:

• Routine problems that are useful for daily living; or

• Non- routine problems which are mostly concerned with developing

mathematical reasoning.

To answer the problem above, we may use the Polya’s technique in

solving word problem:

1. Understand
➢ Know what is asked

Area left in the circular park

➢ Know what are given

50 m radius of the circular fountain

50 m diameter of the circular park

2. Plan
➢ Determine the operation or formula to be used
A = π × r × r or A = πr2

3. Solve

A. Solve the area of the circular fountain

A=π×r×r

A = 3.14 × 7 m × 7 m

A = 153.86 m2

B. Solve the area of the circular park.

r=½d

r = 50m/2

r = 25 m

A=π×r×r

11
 A = 3.14 × 25 m × 25 m

A = 1962.5 m2

C. Subtract the area of circular fountain to the area of circular park to get
the area left in the park.
A = 1962.5 m2 -153.86 m2

A = 1808.64 m2

4. Check and look back

➢ 1808.64 m2 is left in the park.

Example 2

Luvie has a 48 inches in diameter circular carpet. How much area will it
occupy if she will put it on the floor of her living room?

1. Understand
➢ Know what is asked
Area of the circular carpet
➢ Know what are given
d=48 in circular carpet
2. Plan
➢ Determine the operation or formula to be used
A=π × r × r or A = πr2

3. Solve
A. Divide the diameter into two to get the radius of the circular carpet
r= ½ d
r= 48 in/2
r= 24 in

B. Solve the area of the cicular carpet

A=π×r×r

A = 3.14 × 24 in × 24 in

A = 1808.64 in2

4. Check and look back

➢ Luvie’s circular carpet has an area of 1808.64 in2.

12
Example 3
