8.2 the circumference of a circle

Learning objective

You will be able to .


Know and use the formula for the circumference of a circle.
Circumference of a Circle
• What we know about a circle?

• One curved edge


• No straight
edges
• No corners
Circumference of a Circle
We can measure the distance straight across the centre of the
circle.

10cm

This is called the


diameter.
Circumference of a Circle
We can also measure a circle from the centre point to the edge.

5cm

This is called the radius.


Circumference of a Circle
Sometimes it is important to measure the distance around the
outside of the circle.

This is called the


circumference.

But how could we do this?


Circumference of a Circle
We could use a piece of string, place it around the outside of the
circle and then measure the length.

What problems could we


have with this?
Circumference of a Circle
To help us we can also use a calculation.

• For this calculation we need to use


something called Pi.
• This can be shown as a symbol - π
• Pi represents a number, which
equals 3.141592
• We can round this to 3.14 for our
circumference calculation.
Circumference of a Circle
Circumference of a circle = π x diameter

• This can also be written as C = πd


• C = 3.14 x d

The diameter of this circle is 10cm.


The calculation would be:
10cm
C=πxd
C = 3.14 x 10
C = 31.4 cm
Circumference of a Circle
Instead of using the diameter to work out the circumference how else
could we do it?
• We could use the radius to calculate the
circumference.

So the calculation would be:


C = 2π r
5cm
C=2xπ xr
C = 2 x 3.14 x r
Circumference of a Circle
Using the same circle as the previous example, let’s work out the
circumference using the radius.

C = 2 π r
C = 2 x 3.14 x 5
C = 6.28 x 5
5cm C = 31.4 cm

Or

C = 3.14 x 2 x 5
C = 3.14 x 10
C = 31.4 cm
