Area of a Circle
The area of a circle is the space covered by the circle.
Area refers to the space inside a 2D shape
A = πr2
A = π x radius x radius

Modelled example - I do We do
Find the area of the circle below. Find the area of the circle below.
a) Give your answer in terms of π a) Give your answer in terms of π
r = 15cm r = 6cm
15cm
A= πr 2
6cm
A= πr2
A = π (15) 2 A = π (6)2
A= π A= π
b) Given π = 3.142, calculate the area to b) Given π = 3.142, calculate the area to
1 dp 1 dp
A= π A= π
A = 225 (3.142) A = 36 (3.142)
A = 707.0cm2 A = 113.1cm2
Challenge: The area of a circle is 50cm2. Find the diameter
d = 7.99cm
Take π = 3.142. Give your answer to 2 dp
