Vocabulary



A circle is the locus of points in a plane that are a fixed distance from a point called the center of the circle. A circle is named by the symbol and its center. A has radius r = AB and diameter d = CD.

Solving for C gives the formulaC = d. Also d = 2r, so C = 2r.

The irrational number is defined as the ratio ofthe circumference C tothe diameter d, or



You can use the circumference of a circle to find its area. Divide the circle and rearrange the pieces to make a shape that resembles a parallelogram.

The base of the parallelogram is about half the circumference, or r, and the height is close to the radius r. So A r · r = r2.

The more pieces you divide the circle into, the more accurate the estimate will be.



Find the area of K in terms of .

Example 1A: Finding Measurements of Circles

A = r2 Area of a circle.

Divide the diameter by 2 to find the radius, 3.

Simplify.

A = (3)2

A = 9 in2



Find the radius of J if the circumference is (65x + 14) m.

Example 1B: Finding Measurements of Circles

Circumference of a circle

Substitute (65x + 14) for C.

Divide both sides by 2.

C = 2r

(65x + 14) = 2r

r = (32.5x + 7) m



Find the circumference of M if the area is 25 x2 ft2

Example 1C: Finding Measurements of Circles

Step 1 Use the given area to solve for r.

Area of a circle

Substitute 25x2 for A.

Divide both sides by .

Take the square root of both sides.

A = r2

25x2 = r2

25x2 = r2

5x = r



Example 1C Continued

Step 2 Use the value of r to find the circumference.

Substitute 5x for r.

Simplify.

C = 2(5x)

C = 10x ft

C = 2r

Find the area of A in terms of in which C = (4x – 6) m.

A = r2 Area of a circle.

A = (2x – 3)2 m

A = (4x2 – 12x + 9) m2

Divide the diameter by 2 to find the radius, 2x – 3.

Simplify.

Helpful Hint



A pizza-making kit contains three circular baking stones with diameters 24 cm, 36 cm, and 48 cm. Find the area of each stone. Round to the nearest tenth.

Example 2: Cooking Application

24 cm diameter 36 cm diameter 48 cm diameter

A = (12)2 A = (18)2 A = (24)2

≈ 452.4 cm2 ≈ 1017.9 cm2 ≈ 1809.6 cm2




A drum kit contains three drums with diameters of 10 in., 12 in., and 14 in. Find the circumference of each drum.

10 in. diameter 12 in. diameter 14 in. diameter

C = d C = d C = d

C = (10) C = (12) C = (14)

C = 31.4 in. C = 37.7 in. C = 44.0 in.



The center of a regular polygon is equidistant from

the vertices. The apothem is the distance from the

center to a side. A central angle of a regular

polygon has its vertex at the center, and its sides

pass through consecutive vertices. Each central

angle measure of a regular n-gon is



Regular pentagon DEFGH has a center C, apothem BC, and central angle DCE.
