Area Related To Circle
A circle is a closed shape with all points equidistant from a fixed point called the center. Here
are some key concepts and formulas related to the area of circles and their parts:
Basic Formulas:
● Circumference: The distance around the circle.
○ Formula: C = 2πr
● Area: The region enclosed by the circle.
○ Formula: A = πr²
Parts of a Circle and Their Areas:
1. Sector: A region bounded by two radii and the arc between them.
○ Area of a Sector: (θ/360°) × πr²
2. Segment: A region bounded by a chord and the arc it cuts off.
○ Area of a Segment: Area of the corresponding sector - Area of the corresponding
triangle

Key Points to Remember:
● π (Pi): A mathematical constant, approximately equal to 3.14159.
● Radius (r): The distance from the center to any point on the circle.
● Diameter (d): The distance across the circle, passing through the center. (d = 2r)
● Chord: A line segment joining any two points on the circle.
● Arc: A portion of the circumference of a circle.
Applications:
Areas related to circles are used in various fields, including:
● Engineering: Designing circular objects like pipes, gears, and wheels.
● Architecture: Constructing circular structures like domes and arches.
● Physics: Calculating the area of circular objects in experiments and simulations.
● Everyday Life: Measuring the area of circular objects like pizzas, plates, and coins.
By understanding these concepts and formulas, you can solve a wide range of problems
involving circles and their parts.
