The distance around a circle is called circumference. For every circle, the ratio of circumference C to diameter d is the same. This ratio, , is

represented by the Greek letter , called pi. Pi is approximately equal to 3.14 or . By solving the 22

The two parallel sides of a trapezoid are its bases, b1 and b2. The height of a trapezoid is the perpendicular distance between the bases.

In the term b1, the number 1 is called a subscript. It is read as “b-one” or “b sub-one.”
