    A circle is a set of points in a plane that are all the same distance from a central point called the origin or center. A circle has no beginning and no end. The radius of a circle is the distance from the center to any point on the edge. The diameter is the distance across the center and touches two points on the edge. Pi (π) is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, which is approximately 3.14. The circumference of a circle can be calculated by multiplying π by the diameter. The area of a circle can be calculated by multiplying π by the radius squared.

    Circles

    "A circle is the reflection of eternity. It has no beginning, and it has no end."​
    What is a Circle?
    What is a Circle?
    Circle: the set of all points that are equidistant (equally distanced)
    from a single point called the origin (center)
    • There are an infinite number of points around a circle

    Origin: the center of a circle


    The Radius of a Circle
    Radius: the distance from the center of a circle to any other point on
    the perimeter (circumference) of that circle

    The formula to find the radius is radius = diameter ÷ 2

    r = d/2
    The Diameter of a Circle
    Diameter: the distance across a circle that touches two points on the perimeter
    (circumference) of that circle

    The diameter is really the same as two radius lines drawn in opposite directions;
    thus, the diameter is always twice as long as the radius

    The formula to find the diameter of a circle is diameter = 2 x radius

    d = 2r
    The Circumference of a Circle
    Circumference: the perimeter of a circle (the distance around a circle)
    What is Pi?
    Pi (π): the ratio (a relationship between two numbers that's written
    like a fraction) of two different distances on a circle

    π is the ratio between the distance around a circle / distance across a


    circle

    Basically, π is circumference
    diameter
    The Value of Pi
    Since π is a ratio, it is the same number for every circle (no matter
    how big or small)
    • This is because Pi represents how many diameters it takes to wrap around
    a circle

    The value of π = 3.14 …


    • Since Pi is an irrational number, the decimal digits that follow never end
    and never repeat
    • Therefore, it takes approximately 3.14 diameters to wrap around the full
    perimeter of a circle
    Calculating the Circumference and Area of Circles
    Calculating the Circumference of a Circle
    To find the circumference of a circle, simply multiply Pi by the
    diameter of the circle

    c=πxd

    Practice: find the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 10 cm


    Calculating the Area of a Circle
    To find the area of a circle, simply multiply Pi by the radius squared

    A = π x r2

    Remember, r2 is not the same as 2 x r

    Practice: find the area of a circle with a diameter of 10 cm
