Circle formulas: Circumference = 2 x pi x radius = pi x diameter. Area = pi x radius squared. Diameter = 2 x radius. From any measurement, you can calculate all others. Pi (approximately 3.14159) is the ratio of circumference to diameter for all circles.
A circle is a perfectly round shape where every point on its edge is the same distance (radius) from the center. Key measurements include radius (center to edge), diameter (edge to edge through center), circumference (perimeter), and area (space enclosed). All these measurements are mathematically related through the constant pi.
Circle formulas: Circumference = 2 x pi x radius = pi x diameter. Area = pi x radius squared. Diameter = 2 x radius. From any measurement, you can calculate all others. Pi (approximately 3.14159) is the ratio of circumference to diameter for all circles.
The circumference (C) of a circle is calculated using C = 2πr or C = πd, where r is the radius and d is the diameter. This represents the total distance around the circle.
The area (A) of a circle is calculated using A = πr², where r is the radius. This represents the total space enclosed by the circle.
The diameter is exactly twice the radius (d = 2r), or equivalently, the radius is half the diameter (r = d/2). The diameter passes through the center of the circle.
Pi (π) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159... It represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. Pi is an irrational number, meaning its decimal representation never ends or repeats.
Arc length is the distance along a portion of a circle's circumference. It's calculated as (θ/360°) × 2πr, where θ is the central angle in degrees. A 90° arc is one-quarter of the circumference.
A sector is a "pie slice" shape of a circle, bounded by two radii and an arc. Its area is calculated as (θ/360°) × πr², where θ is the central angle in degrees.
