Circles
A bicycle odometer uses a magnet
attached to the wheel and a sensor
attached to the bicycle frame. Each
time the magnet passes the sensor,
the odometer registers the distance
traveled. This distance is the
circumference of the wheel.
Here is an example of the odometer on my
bicycle. The pictures show the odometer
reading and the sensor on the wheel.
Circle:
The set of all points in a plane that
are equal distance from the center. (a circle
is named by it’s center)
Radius:
a line segment with one endpoint
at the center of the circle and the other
endpoint on the circle. Radii is pleural of
radius.
Diameter:
a line segment with endpoints
on the circle and it passes through the center
of the circle.
Chord:
a line segment with its endpoints on
a circle.
Do you like pie?
Describe the shape of a pie.
This will help you remember an important
number called pi. This special number will be
used to solve problems involving circles.
Pi: (π) the ratio of the
circumference of a circle to it’s
diameter. Pi is an irrational
number that is approximated by
the rational numbers π ≈ 3.14 or
22/7.
π ≈
3.14159265358979323846…,
although Pi has been computed to
more than a trillion places, for
circumferences and area using
3.14 is usually enough.
Pi can be found to over a trillion places using
computers today. Below is a fraction of what
the number looks like when finding Pi.
Circumference:
the distance around a
circle.
Like perimeter, the
circumference is the distance
around the outside of a figure
(circle). Unlike perimeter, in
a circle there are no straight
segments to measure, so a
special formula is needed.
C = πd when you know the diameter
C = 2πr when you know the radius
Area of a circle: the number of square
units needed to cover the surface of a figure.
Again a special formula is needed because
there are no straight segments to measure.
A = πr2
Find the area of the circle:
when working with circles, be sure you are
using the radius, i.e., A = πr². In this diagram,
10 is the diameter. The radius is half of the
diameter.
Example:
Here is an example of a problem
you will be asked to solve using circle formulas.
In this figure you are asked to find the area
of the shaded portion.
There are many applications used everyday
using formulas for circles. Take the example
below.
A Ferris wheel has a
diameter of 56 feet and
makes 15 revolutions per
ride. How far would
someone travel during a
ride?
C = πd
C = πd
C = 175.9291886…
175.9291886 · 15 =
2638.937829 feet

Many car tire manufactures guarantee their
tires for 50,000 miles. If the average tire
has a 2 ft diameter, how many revolutions does
the manufacturer guarantee?

C = πd
C = 3.14 · 2
C = 6.28ft

Solving word problems
Graph a circle with center (3, 1) that passes
through (3, -1). Find the area and
circumference, both in terms of π and to the
nearest tenth. Use 3.14 for π
A = πr2 C = πd
A = π · 22 C = π · 4
A = 4π C = 4π
A = 4 · 3.14 C = 4 · 3.14
A=12.56 units2 C=12.56units
