Area and Circumference of A Circle

This document provides information about finding the circumference and area of circles, sectors, and segments. It includes formulas for calculating circumference (C=2πr), area of a circle (A=πr^2), area of a sector (A=θ/360 * πr^2), and area of a segment. Examples are given for finding these values for various circles, sectors, and segments when parts of the measurements are given. Practice problems are also provided to calculate circumference and area for circumscribed and inscribed circles of various regular polygons.

Area and

Circumference of a
Circle
•Π (pi) is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to
its diameter d.
That is, p = C/d. Hence,
.
A circle may be regarded as regular polygon having
an infinite number of sides. If a square is inscribed in
a circle, and the number of sides is continually
doubled, (to form an octagon, a 16-gon and so on),
the perimeters of the resulting polygon will get
closer and closer to the circumference of a circle.
 
Thus, to find the area of a circle, the formula can be
used with C substituted for p; doing so, we get,
Finding the Circumference of a Circle and Area of a Circle
In a circle,
a. Find the circumference and area if the radius is 6
b. Find the radius and area if the circumference is 18π.
c. Find the radius and the circumference if the area is
144π.

Relationships of Segments in Regular Polygons of 3, 4 and 6 sides
Length of an Arc; Area of a Sector and a Segment
A sector of a circle is a part of a circle bounded by
two radii and their intercepted arc. Thus in Fig. 10-
9, the shaded section of circle O is sector OAB.
Length of an Arc; Area of a Sector and a Segment

A segment of a circle is a part of a


circle bounded by a chord and its
arc. A minor segment of a circle is
the smaller of the two segments
thus formed. Thus in Fig. 10-10, the
shaded section of circle Q is minor
segment ACB.
Principle
•  1: In a circle of radius r, the length l of an arc
of measure n◦ equals of the circumference of a circle or

Principle 2: In a circle of radius r, the area K of a


 

sector of measure n◦ equals of the area of a circle or

Principle 3:
 
Principle 4: The area of a minor segment of a circle
equals the area of its sector less the area of the triangle
formed by its radii and chord.

Principle 5: If a regular polygon is inscribed in a circle,


each segment cut off by the polygon has area equal to
the difference between the area of the circle and the
area of the polygon divided by the number of sides.
EXAMPLES:

Area of a Sector:
a. Find the area K of a 300◦ sector of a circle whose radius is
12.
b. Find the measure of the central angle of a sector whose
area is 6 if the area of the circle is 9.
c. Find the radius of a circle if an arc of length 2 has a
sector of area 10.
Area of a Segment of a Circle
a. Find the area of a segment if its central angle measures 60◦ and
the radius of the circle is 12.
b. Find the area of a segment if its central angle measures 90◦ and
the radius of the circle is 8.
c. Find each segment formed by an inscribed equilateral triangle if
the radius of the circle is 8.
