What is the definition of a circle?
A Circle is a closed plane figure with all points the same
distance from the center. It has no beginning point and
no ending point.
A
A chord is a line segment with its endpoints
on the circle.

V
Diameter is a line segment that passes through the
center of the circle and has its endpoints on the circle.
RT

Radius (radii) is a line segment with one endpoint
at the center of a circle and the other endpoint on
the circle.

Given the circumference, how can you find the
diameter or radius?
What is the length of the radius from the inside edge of the lace to the center of the circular tablecloth?
How can you find the area of a circle?
The same way we find the area of a rectangle! Really?! Yes!
A = Length × Width
Now, to find the area of a circle, we simply have to turn the circle in
to a rectangle! Any ideas for how we can do this?!
Jack believes

that the area of the following circle is equal to
12 x π . Is he correct? Explain.
Using the formula for area to find circumference,
diameter, and radius...
Diameter = 24 inches
