THE CIRCLES
A circle is a round-shaped figure that has no corners or edges.
It is a closed two-dimensional figure in which the set of all the points in the plane is equidistant from
a given point called “centre”
Diameter = 2 x Radius i.e d = 2r
Area of a circle = 𝝅𝒓𝟐
𝟐𝟐
Circumference (Perimeter) of a circle = 𝟐𝝅𝒓 𝒐𝒓 𝝅𝒅 where 𝝅 = 𝒐𝒓 𝟑. 𝟏𝟒𝟐
𝟕
𝟏
A half of the circumference = 𝟐 × 𝟐𝝅𝒓 = 𝝅𝒓
𝟏 𝝅𝒓
A quarter of the circumference 𝟒 × 𝟐𝝅𝒓 = 𝟐

𝟑𝟔𝟎
𝜽
Area of a sector = 𝟑𝟔𝟎 × 𝝅𝒓𝟐
𝜽
Perimeter of a sector = 𝟐𝒓 + (𝟑𝟔𝟎 × 𝟐𝝅𝒓)
𝜽 𝟏
Area of a segment = (𝟑𝟔𝟎 × 𝝅𝒓𝟐 ) − (𝟐 𝒓𝟐 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝜽)
Note that: It is major when 𝜽 is greater than 1800 while it is minor when 𝜽 is less than
1800
Example
EXAMPLE:
VABCD is a square-based pyramid with vertex V and base ABCD, with V vertically above the centre of
the square base. The height of the pyramid is 4 cm and the side length of the base is 6 cm, find the
surface area and volume of the pyramid.
Frustum of Cone and Pyramid
A frustum is the shape you are left with if you cut the top part (the pointy bit) of a cone or pyramid
off parallel to its base.
V = 1/3𝜋𝑑(𝑅 2 + 𝑅𝑟 + 𝑟 2 )
