Circles

  • Circle - the set of points at a fixed distance from the center


    • Radius - distance from the center

      • R = D/2


    • Area = πr²

      • r = radius, π = 3.14


    • Circumference - “length” of the circle (perimeter)

      • C = 2πr


    • Diameter - the distance of a line going across the circle through the center

      • D = 2r



  • Length arc


    • To find the angle of one piece of a circle

      • 𝚹 = Area of Arc x 360°​ / πr²

        • Length of Arc / Circumference = 𝚹 / 360°


    • To find the area of one piece of a circle

      • Area of arc = 𝚹​ / 360° x πr²

        • Area of Arc / Area of Circle = 𝚹 / 360°



    ex; r = 5, 𝚹 = 90. find the area of the arc

    Area of arc = 90​ / 360° x π x 5²

    1/4 x π x 25

    Area of arc = 25π/4
