8-3 Circles
A circle is the set of points in a plane
that are a fixed distance from a given
point, called the center. A radius
connects the center to any point on the
circle, and a diameter connects two
points on the circle and passes through
the center.

Diameter The diameter d is
twice the radius r.
d = 2r
Circumference
The circumference of a circle is the distance
around the circle.

Additional Example 1: Finding the Circumference
of a Circle
Find the circumference of each circle, both
in terms of and to the nearest tenth. Use
3.14 for .
A. Circle with a radius of 4 m
C = 2r
= 2(4)
= 8 m 25.1 m
B. Circle with a diameter of 3.3 ft
C = d
= (3.3)
= 3.3 ft 10.4 ft

Additional Example 2: Finding the Area of a Circle
Find the area of each circle, both in terms of
and to the nearest tenth. Use 3.14 for .
A. Circle with a radius of 4 in.
A = r2 = (42)
= 16 in2 50.2 in2
B. Circle with a diameter of 3.3 m
A = r2 = (1.652)
= 2.7225 m2 8.5 m2

Additional Example 4: Measurement Application
A Ferris wheel has a diameter of 56 feet
and makes 15 revolutions per ride. How far
would someone travel during a ride? Use 22

for .
C = d = (56)
22 (56)

Find the circumference.
22 56 176 ft
7 1
The distance is the circumference of the
wheel times the number of revolutions, or
about 176 15 = 2640 ft.
