Circumference and Area of Circles Section 8.7
2
Goal Find the circumference and area of circles.
3
Key Vocabulary Circle Center Radius Diameter Circumference Central angle Sector
4
Circle A circle is a plane figure that consists of a set of points that are equidistant from a given point called the center. The circumference of a circle is the distance around it.
5
Identifying the Parts of a Circle A radius is a line segment that connects the outside of the circle to its center. r
6
A diameter is a line segment with both endpoints on the circle that passes through the center. d
7
Numerical Relationships A radius is exactly one-half of a diameter (r = ½ d). Therefore a diameter is twice a radius (d = 2r). 5.5 cm If the radius is 5.5 cm, then the diameter is ___________ cm. 11

Circumference
9
Remember, circumference is the distance around the circle. If you divide a circle’s circumference by its diameter, you always get the same irrational number – pi (symbol: π ) This is true of every circle. We estimate pi to be 3.14 or the fraction 22/7.
10
Circumference Formulas C = π d C = 2 π r
11
Example 41 m C = π d C = (3.14)(41) C = 128.74 m We substitute 3.14 in for pi.
12
Example 1 Find the Circumference of a Circle The circumference is about 25 inches. ANSWER SOLUTION C = 2πr Formula for the circumference Substitute 4 for r. = 2π(4) Simplify. = 8π Use 3.14 as an approximation for π. ≈ 8(3.14) Multiply. = 25.12 Find the circumference of the circle.

68
Central Angle Central angle- Its sides contain two radii of the circle. A B C ACB is a central angle Radius
69
Sum of Central Angles The sum of the central angles of a circle = 360 o –as long as they don’t overlap.

Sector: An Actual Slice of Pie A sector of a circle is the region between two radii of a circle and the included arc. Because a sector is a portion of a circle, the following proportion can be used to find the area of a sector.
