Geometry Calculations: Circumference, Area, Surface Area, Volume
Circumference of Circles
- To find the circumference of a circle, use the formula:
C=2πr
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=πr2
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=2π(9.1)≈57.2 in
- Area:
- A=π(9.1)2≈260.4 in2
- Circle 2:
- Radius = 11 cm
- Circumference:
- C=2π(11)≈69.1 cm
- Area:
- A=π(11)2≈380.1 cm2
- To find the surface area, use appropriate formulas depending on the shape:
- Rectangular Prism:
SA=2(lw+lh+wh) - Cylinder:
SA=2πr(h+r)
Example of Surface Area Calculations:
- Rectangular Prism:
- Dimensions (length, width, height): 10 in, 5 in, 8 in
- Surface Area:
- SA=2(10×5+10×8+5×8)≈560 in2
- Volume formulas are specific to the figure:
- Rectangular Prism:
V=lwh - Cylinder:
V=πr2h
- Round the answer to the nearest tenth.
Example of Volume Calculations:
- Rectangular Prism:
- Dimensions: 9 yd, 2 yd
- Volume:
- V=9×2×11≈198 yd3
- Cylinder:
- Height = 5.8 ft, Radius = 6 ft
- Volume:
- V=π(6)2(5.8)≈1097.2 ft3
