Know the definition of a circle and its related terms Important Terms and Definitions for Circles Circle: The set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed point called the center of the circle. Radius: The distance from the center of a circle to any point on the circle. (The letter r is used to represent the radius of a circle.)

HAWKES LEARNING SYSTEMS Students Matter. Success Counts. Copyright © 2013 by Hawkes Learning Systems/Quant Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Formulas for Circumference and Area of a Circle Notes The Greek letter  (Pi) is the symbol used for the constant …. This number is an infinite nonrepeating decimal. For our purposes, we will use  = 3.14 (accurate to hundredths). However, you should always be aware that 3.14 is only an approximation for  and that related answers are only approximations.

Example 3: Finding the Perimeter of a Semicircle Find the perimeter of a figure that is a semicircle (half of a circle) including its diameter. The diameter is 20 cm long. Solution

HAWKES LEARNING SYSTEMS Students Matter. Success Counts. Copyright © 2013 by Hawkes Learning Systems/Quant Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Example 3: Finding the Perimeter of a Semicircle (cont.) Now we find the perimeter of the figure by adding the length of the semicircle (which is half of the circumference of a circle) to the length of the diameter. Length of semicircle: Perimeter of figure: P = = 51.4 cm.

Example 5: Finding the Perimeter and Area Find a. the perimeter and b. the area of the figure shown here with a square base and a semicircle cut out of one side. One side of the square is 10 inches long.

HAWKES LEARNING SYSTEMS Students Matter. Success Counts. Copyright © 2013 by Hawkes Learning Systems/Quant Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Example 5: Finding the Perimeter and Area (cont.) Solution a.The perimeter of the figure is the sum of the lengths of three sides of the square and the length of the semicircle. (Note that the diameter of the semicircle is 10 in.) Three sides of the square = = 30 in. Length of semicircle = Perimeter of the figure = = in.
