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.

Pi () is an irrational number that is often
approximated by the rational numbers 3.14
and 22 .

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 = 2r
= 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 3: Finding the Area and
Circumference on a Coordinate Plane
Graph the circle with center (–2, 1) that passes
through (1, 1). Find the area and circumference,
both in terms of  and to the nearest tenth. Use
3.14 for .
A = r2
Course 3
C = d
=  (32)
=  (6)
= 9 units2
= 6 units
 28.3 units2
 18.8 units

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.
