How do you find the circumference of a circle? For Example A circle has a radius of 8 centimeters. What is the circumference of the circle?

In this lesson you will learn to find the circumference of a circle by exploring the ratio of the diameter and circumference.

Let’s Review Diameter is the distance across a circle through the center. Radius is the distance from the center of the circle to the edge of the circle. d = 2rr =

Core Lesson Springfield Middle School built a track in the shape of a circle. The diameter of the track is 100 meters. What is the circumference of the track? Circumference is the perimeter, or distance around, a circle.

Let’s Review Core Lesson C = inches d = 8 inches C = 15.7 inches d = 5 inches Constant of Proportionality = 3.14 AB

Let’s Review Core Lesson Pi, represented by the symbol π, is a constant ratio that relates circumference and diameter. Pi is approximated as =8 x = 5 x 3.14 C = π d or C = 2 π r

Let’s Review A Common Mistake When using the radius to find the circumference, remember to multiply it by 2 to get the diameter. Wrong C = π r Correct C = 2 π r

Let’s Review Core Lesson What is the circumference of a circle that has a radius of 8 centimeters? Do not approximate pi. C = 2 π r C = (2) π (8 cm) C = 16 π cm

In this lesson you have learned to find the circumference of a circle by exploring the ratio of the diameter and circumference.

Let’s Review Guided Practice A circle has a radius of 6 inches. What is the circumference of the circle? Do not approximate pi.

Let’s Review Extension Activities

Let’s Review Extension Activities Alison stated “The circumference of a circle is approximately 6 times the radius of the circle.” Is Alison’s statement correct? Explain your reasoning.

Let’s Review Quick Quiz A circle has a diameter of 8 meters. What is the circumference of the circle? Use 3.14 for pi. A circle has a radius of 7 feet. Find the circumference of the circle. Do not approximate pi.
