+ Lesson 3: Perimeter and Circumference
+ What is a perimeter?
+ Perimeter* The distance around an object.
+ Find the perimeter of this object
+ Answer: 28 Units
+ Find the perimeter of the object
+ Answer: 44 Units
+ Every point on a circle is the same distance from the center of the circle. This distance is called the radius. Radius*: The straight line from the center of the circle to the outer edge.
+ Diameter*: Twice the length of the radius of a circle.
+ Circumference*: The perimeter of a circle.
+ Many ancients thought that the circle was the perfect geometric figure. They were especially interested in the relationship between the diameter of a circle and the circumference of the same circle. They found that it takes approximately 3.14 diameters to go all the way around a circle no matter how small or large the circle is.
+ We now know the exact number of times the diameter will go around a circle. This exact number is a number is a number we call pi (pronounced pie). We represent pi with the symbol π.
+ π is an infinite number meaning that it will go on and on forever. This also means that it is an irrational number. A calculator gives a decimal approximation of π as (In the book, 3.14 will be used as an approximation for pi when doing calculations.)
+ It takes π diameters to equal the circumference of a circle. Circumference = πD
+ It takes 2π radii to equal the circumference of a circle. Circumference = 2πr
+ Example: The radius of a circle is 3 cm. Find the circumference of the circle.
+ Answer: Circumference = 2πr = 2π(3 cm) = 2(3.14)(3 cm) = cm
+ Example: The circumference of a circle is 24 meters. Find the radius of the circle.
+ Answer: Circumference = 2πr 24 m = 2πr 24 m = 2(3.14)(r) 24 m = 6.28r r = 3.82m
+ Find the perimeter of the figure
+ Answer: Perimeter = 10 ft +10 ft + 8 ft + (2π(4 ft)/2) = 28 ft + (2(3.14)(4 ft)/2) = 28 ft ft = ft
+ Practice: The length of a rectangle is 10 cm. The width of the rectangle is 5 cm. Find the perimeter of the rectangle.
+ Practice: The perimeter of a square is 12 meters. What is the length of one side of the square?
+ Practice: The radius of a circle is 5 inches. Find the circumference of the circle.
