SOLID MENSURATION 1

LESSON 5: CIRCLES

A circle is a set of points equidistant from a given point. The radius of a circle, 𝑟, is the
distance from the center of the circle to the circle. A circle's size depends only on its radius.

Important terms related to the circles:


1. Radius (𝑟) – a line segment that connects the center and any point on the circle.
2. Chord – a line segment that connects any two points on the circle.
3. Diameter (𝑑) – a chord that passes through the center of the circle. The length of the
diagonal is twice of the radius.
4. Circumference (𝐶) – the distance around the circle.
5. Secant – a line that passes through the circle.
6. Tangent – a line that intersect the circle at exactly one point.

Formula:
Circumference of Circle: Area of Circle:

"# $% !
𝐶 = 2𝜋𝑟 = 𝜋𝑑 𝐴 = 𝜋𝑟 ! = !
= &

where: 𝑟 = radius 𝑑 = diameter

Practice Exercise:
1. What is the area and circumference of a circle if its radius is 6 meters?

2. Find the circumference and area of the circle if the diameter is 10 ft?

3. The square is circumscribed by a circle. If the area of the square is 25 sq. cm, find the
area of the circle.

4. A circle is inscribed in a square. If the diagonal of the square is 10 m, find the


circumference of the circle.

5. The square is circumscribed by a circle. If the area of the circle is 15 square meters, fine
the area of the square.

6. The minute hand on a clock is 25 cm long. How far does the tip of the hand move in 20
minutes?
