Teaching Circumference of the Circle Easily
- Diameter: The distance across the circle through the center. It is denoted by 'd'.
- Radius: The distance from the center to any point on the circle. It is denoted by 'R.'
- Π or Pi: It is a constant value, i.e., 22/7 or 3.14.
Circumference of the Circle = 2Πr where R = radius of the circle Π = 3.14 or 22/7 |
Here is an example of the circumference of the circle. Let’s consider the given example to learn how to solve a question on the circumference of the circle.
Q. If the radius of the circle is 3 cm, find the circumference of the circle.
Step 1: Identify the radius of the circle.
Radius = 3 cm.
Step 2: Use the circumference formula.
Circumference of the circle = 2Πr.
2 * 3.14 * 3 = 18.84 cm.
Why Should You Use a Circumference of the Circle for Your Students?
- Solving the area and circumference of a circle worksheet will help your students to get a better understanding of parts of a circle such as radius, diameter, and area.
- These worksheets will make the students well versed in the concept of a circle being a closed figure having a circumference and not a perimeter.
