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. The irrational number is defined as the ratio of the circumference C to the diameter d, or Solving for C gives the formula C = d. Also d = 2r, so C = 2r.
You can use the circumference of a circle to find its area 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.
Example 1A: Finding Measurements of Circles Find the area of K in terms of . A = r2 Area of a circle. Divide the diameter by 2 to find the radius, 3. A = (3)2 A = 9 in2 Simplify.
Example 1B: Finding Measurements of Circles Find the radius of J if the circumference is (65x + 14) m. C = 2r Circumference of a circle (65x + 14) = 2r Substitute (65x + 14) for C. r = (32.5x + 7) m Divide both sides by 2.
Example 1C: Finding Measurements of Circles Find the circumference of M if the area is 25 x2 ft2 Step 1 Use the given area to solve for r. A = r2 Area of a circle 25x2 = r2 Substitute 25x2 for A. 25x2 = r2 Divide both sides by . Take the square root of both sides. 5x = r
Example 1C Continued Step 2 Use the value of r to find the circumference. C = 2r C = 2(5x) Substitute 5x for r. C = 10x ft Simplify.

The center of a regular polygon is equidistant from the vertices 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
