Put a pin in a board, put a loop of string around it, and insert a pencil into the loop. Keep the string stretched and draw the circle!
Try dragging the point to see how the radius and circumference change. (See if you can keep a constant radius!)
The Radiusis the distance from the center outwards. The Diametergoes straight across the circle, through the center. The Circumferenceis the distance once around the circle. And here is the really cool thing: We can say: Circumference = π× Diameter Also note that the Diameter is twice the Radius: Diameter = 2 × Radius And so this is also true: Circ...
The length of the words may help you remember: 1. Radiusis the shortest word and shortest measure 2. Diameteris longer 3. Circumferenceis the longest
The area of a circle is πtimes the radius squared, which is written: A = π r2 Where 1. Ais the Area 2. ris the radius Or, using the Diameter: A = (π/4) × D2
Because people have studied circles for thousands of years special names have come about. Nobody wants to say "that line that starts at one side of the circle, goes through the center and ends on the other side"when they can just say "Diameter". So here are the most common special names:
A line that "just touches" the circle as it passes by is called a Tangent. A line that cuts the circle at two points is called a Secant. A line segment that goes from one point to another on the circle's circumference is called a Chord. If it passes through the center it is called a Diameter. And a part of the circumference is called an Arc.
A circle has an inside and an outside (of course!). But it also has an "on", because we could be right on the circle. Example: "A" is outside the circle, "B" is inside the circle and "C" is on the circle.
Learn what a circle is, how to draw it, and how to measure its radius, diameter, circumference and area. Explore the special names and properties of lines, slices and angles related to circles.
- Circles - Radius and Diameter. In order to describe the shape of an object, we give the object appropriate dimensions. For example, a rectangle can be described with its height and width.
- Circles - Circumference. The formula for the circumference of a circle is. \\[\\pi d = 2 \\pi r,\\] where \\(d=\\text{(diameter of the circle)},\\) \\(r=\\text{(radius of the circle)},\\) and \\(\\pi\\) is the mathematical constant, "pi."
- Area of a Circle. The area of a circle with radius \\(r\\) is \\(\\pi r^2\\). \\ (_\\square\\) This is proven by dividing a circle into even parts. and then rearranging them into a crooked parallelogram.
- Circles - Arc Length. Arc length of a circle is the length of the curved part. Arc length of a full circle is its circumference, but what about the arc length of sectors (pieces of circles)?
A circle is a shape consisting of all points in a plane that are at a given distance from a given point, the centre. The distance between any point of the circle and the centre is called the radius. The circle has been known since before the beginning of recorded history. Natural circles are common, such as the full moon or a slice of round fruit.
