Circle
The circle is a simple shape in geometry. It consists of all points in a plane that are at a given distance from a given point, the center.
Properties of a Circle
- Radius: The distance from the center to any point on the circle.
- Diameter: The distance across the circle through the center, equal to twice the radius.
- Circumference: The distance around the circle, calculated as C = 2πr, where r is the radius.
- Area: The space enclosed within the circle, calculated as A = πr².
Circle Formulas
- Circumference:
C = 2πr - Area:
A = πr²
Example Calculation
Given a circle with a radius of 5:
- Circumference:
C = 2 * π * 5 ≈ 31.42 - Area:
A = π * 5² ≈ 78.54
