The Area and Perimeter of a CircleA circle is defined by its diameter or radius

Diameter

radi

usThe perimeter or circumference of a circle is the distance around the outside

The area of a circle is the space inside it

The ratio of π (pi)diameter

ncecircumfere

π is an irrational number whose value to 15 decimal places is π = 3.14159265358979.... We usually say π≈3.14The circumference is found

using the formula

C=π d or C= 2πr (since d=2r)

The area is found using the formula

C=πr2
