Transcript of The Area and Perimeter of a Circle
The Area and Perimeter of a CircleA circle is defined by its diameter or radius
Diameter
radi
usThe perimeter or circumference of a circle is the distance around the outside
The area of a circle is the space inside it
The ratio of π (pi)diameter
ncecircumfere
π is an irrational number whose value to 15 decimal places is π = 3.14159265358979.... We usually say π≈3.14The circumference is found
using the formula
C=π d or C= 2πr (since d=2r)
The area is found using the formula
C=πr2
