stick vertically at the left endpoint. The two sticks join together to form a pattern. The two sticks represent two rays having the same endpoint. The stick put horizon Read More Go to Site
Votes:0 Area of a Circle Unit 2 The distance around a circle is called its circumference . The distance across a circle through its center is called its diameter . We use the Greek letter (pronounced Pi ) to represent the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter. In the last lesson, we learned that the formula for circumference of a circle is: . For simplicity, we use = 3.14. We know from the last lesson that the diameter of a circle is twice as long as the radius . This relationship is expressed in the following formula: . The area of a circle is the number of square units inside that circle. If each square in the circle to the left has an area of 1 cm 2 , you could count the total number of squares to get the area of this circle. Thus, if there were a total of 28.26 squares, the ar Read More Go to Site
