AREAS RELATED TO AREA OF A CIRCLE

CIRCLE AREA OF A CIRCLE IS ΠR2, WHERE Π=22/7 OR ≈3.14 (CAN BE

USED INTERCHANGEABLY FOR PROBLEM-SOLVING
PURPOSES)AND R IS THE RADIUS OF THE CIRCLE.
Π IS THE RATIO OF THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE TO ITS
DIAMETER.
 CIRCUMFERENCE OF CIRCLE

CIRCUMFERENCE OF A CIRCLE

• THE PERIMETER OF A CIRCLE IS THE DISTANCE COVERED BY GOING AROUND ITS BOUNDARY ONCE. THE
PERIMETER OF A CIRCLE HAS A SPECIAL NAME: CIRCUMFERENCE, WHICH IS Π TIMES THE DIAMETER
WHICH IS GIVEN BY THE FORMULA 2ΠR
SEGMENT AND SECTOR OF CIRCLE

SEGMENT OF A CIRCLE

A CIRCULAR SEGMENT IS A REGION OF A CIRCLE THAT IS “CUT OFF” FROM THE REST OF THE CIRCLE BY A
SECANT OR A CHORD

SECTOR OF A CIRCLE

• A CIRCLE SECTOR/ SECTOR OF A CIRCLE IS DEFINED AS THE REGION OF A CIRCLE ENCLOSED BY AN ARC
AND TWO RADII. THE SMALLER AREA IS CALLED THE MINOR SECTOR AND THE LARGER AREA IS CALLED
THE MAJOR SECTOR.
CIRCLE AND ITS TERMS:-
ACCURACY BY WHICH THE VALUE OF WAS ESTIMATED IS AN INTERESTING ONE.

Π (PI) IS AN IRRATIONAL NUMBER. IT CANNOT BE EXPRESSED AS THE RATIO OF WHOLE NUMBERS. HOWEVER, THE RATIO 22:7 IS USED
AS AN APPROXIMATION FOR IT.

CIRCLE AND ITS TERMS

A CIRCLE IS THE LOCUS OF A POINT THAT MOVES IN A PLANE SO THAT ITS DISTANCE FROM A GIVEN FIXED POINT IN THE PLANE IS
ALWAYS CONSTANT.

THE REGION OCCUPIED BY A CIRCLE IN A TWO-DIMENSIONAL PLANE IS KNOWN AS THE AREA OF THE CIRCLE. THE AREA OF A CIRCLE
CAN BE EASILY DETERMINED USING THE FORMULA A=ΠR2 WHERE R IS THE RADIUS OF THE CIRCLE

• THE TERMS RELATED TO A CIRCLE ARE LISTED BELO

FORMULAS TO CIRCLE
1. CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE CIRCLE =2ΠRUNITS.

2. AREA OF THE CIRCLE =ΠR2SQ.UNITS

3. AREA OF THE SEMI-CIRCLE =12ΠR2SQ.UNITS

4. PERIMETER OF THE SEMI-CIRCLE =(ΠR+2R)=R(Π+2)

5. AREA OF A QUADRANT OF A CIRCLE =14ΠR2

6. AREA ENCLOSED BY THE TWO CIRCLES =ΠR2–ΠR2=Π(R2–R2)=Π(R+R)(R–R) WHERE R AND R ARE RADII OF TWO CONCENTRIC
CIRCLE

• 7. AREA OF A SEGMENT OF A CIRCLE ={Π360×Θ–SINΘ2COSΘ2}R2
