Circles

1. Circles

Circumference =

Diameter =

Radius =

Area =

The area of a circle is 36. What is the diameter of the circle?

The radius of a circle is 10. What is the circumference of the circle?

What formula do you use to find the ratio of the arcs, sectors, etc. of a circle?

    Circumference = 2 * Pi * R where R = Radius or Pi * D where D = Diameter

    Diameter = 2 * R

    Radius = D/2

    Area = Pi * R2

    The area of a circle is 36. What is the diameter of the circle?

    36 = Pi * R2 so R = 6 / Square root of Pi so D = (12 * Square root of Pi)/Pi

    The radius of a circle is 10. What is the circumference of the circle?

    Circumference = 2 * Pi * R so circumference = 20 * Pi

    What formula do you use to find the ratio of the arcs, sectors, etc. of a circle?

    x/360 = arc length/circumference = area of sector/area where x is the degree measure of the angle
