Geometry Calculations: Circumference, Area, Surface Area, Volume
Circumference of Circles
- To find the circumference of a circle, use the formula:
C = 2\pi r
where $C$ is the circumference and $r$ is the radius. - Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Area of Circles
- The area of a circle is found using the formula:
A = \pi r^2
where $A$ is the area and $r$ is the radius. - Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Examples of Values:
- Circle 1:
- Radius = 9.1 inches
- Circumference:
- C = 2 \pi (9.1) \approx 57.2 \text{ in}
- Area:
- A = \pi (9.1)^2 \approx 260.4 \text{ in}^2
- Circle 2:
- Radius = 11 cm
- Circumference:
- C = 2 \pi (11) \approx 69.1 \text{ cm}
- Area:
- A = \pi (11)^2 \approx 380.1 \text{ cm}^2
- To find the surface area, use appropriate formulas depending on the shape:
- Rectangular Prism:
SA = 2(lw + lh + wh) - Cylinder:
SA = 2\pi r(h + r)
Example of Surface Area Calculations:
- Rectangular Prism:
- Dimensions (length, width, height): 10 in, 5 in, 8 in
- Surface Area:
- SA = 2(10 \times 5 + 10 \times 8 + 5 \times 8) \approx 560 \text{ in}^2
- Volume formulas are specific to the figure:
- Rectangular Prism:
V = lwh - Cylinder:
V = \pi r^2 h
- Round the answer to the nearest tenth.
Example of Volume Calculations:
- Rectangular Prism:
- Dimensions: 9 yd, 2 yd
- Volume:
- V = 9 \times 2 \times 11 \approx 198 \text{ yd}^3
- Cylinder:
- Height = 5.8 ft, Radius = 6 ft
- Volume:
- V = \pi (6)^2 (5.8) \approx 1097.2 \text{ ft}^3
