    This document describes a method for using paper cutting and pasting to derive the formula for the area of a circle. The method involves drawing a circle, folding it into sectors, coloring alternate sectors, cutting out the sectors, and rearranging them into a rectangular shape. The area of the rectangular shape formed from the circle sectors equals the area of the original circle, allowing students to understand that the area of a circle is πr2 through this hands-on activity.

    Area of Circle by Paper Cutting and Pasting Method

    Objective
    To obtain the formula for area of the circle i.e., πr 2 by paper cutting and pasting method.

    Prerequisite Knowledge

    1. Definition of circle: A circle is the locus of a point in a plane which moves in such
    a way that its distance from a fixed point remains constant. Fixed point is known
    as centre and the fixed distance is known as radius of the circle.

    2. Area of the circle: It is the measure of the region of the plane enclosed by it.
    3. Circumference of the circle: Total length of its boundary.
    (C = 2πr, where ris radius of the circle)

    4. Area of rectangle: length x breadth.


    5. Sectors of a circle.
    Materials Required
    White paper, coloured sketch pen, a pair of scissors, fevicol, geometry box.

    Procedure

    1. Draw a circle of any radius on a sheet of paper (Take r = 6.5 cm) using compass

    2. Fold it once along the diameter to obtain two semicircles as shown in fig. (ii).

    3. Again fold the semicircle to get quarters of circle.


    4. Repeat this process of folding upto four folds and then it looks like a small sector
    as shown in fig. (iv).

    5. Press and unfold the circle. It is divided into 16 equal sectors.

    6. Colour half of this circle i.e. 8 parts with one sectors with colour say blue and
    remaining 8 sectors different colour say orange.

    7. Cut these sixteen different sectors of circle.


    8. Cut one of the sector of orange colour into two equal parts as shown in the fig.
    (vii).
    9. Arrange these seventeen sectors (one orange sector is divided in two parts) in
    alternate manner so that they form a rectangular shape as shown in fig. (viii).

    Observation

    1. Area of the rectangular shape so formed with seventeen sectors is same as the
    area of circle.
    2. Length of the rectangular shape = x circumference of circle = x 2πr = πr.
    3. Breadth of the rectangular shape = radius of circle
    ∴ Area of the rectangle = L x B = πr x r = πr2 sq. units.

    Result
    Area of a circle with radius r = πr2.

    Learning Outcome

    1. The figure formed by arranging 17 sectors of a circle is almost a rectangle.


    2. As we increase the number of sectors of the circle, the figure of rectangle
    becomes better and better.
    3. Through this activity, students will learn to find the approximate result for the area
    of a circle.

    Activity Time
    Find out the area of a circle of radius 6.3 cm by dividing the circle into 32 sectors.
