The radius of a circle is defined as the distance between its centre and any point on its circumference.
It's commonly represented by' R' or 'r'.

Radius
Diameter
- The diameter of a circle is
a line segment formed by
joining two points lying on
the opposite side.
- It passes through the
centre of the circle.
- It is denoted by ‘D’ or‘ d ‘.
Diameter = 2 x Radius
Circumference of Circle
- The circumference is the
measurement of the
length of a circle's
boundary.
- It's also known as the
circle's perimeter.
Circumference of a Circle Formula
Where 'r' is the circumference of the circle and (Pi) is the mathematical constant having a value of 3.14.
Example 1
Calculate the circumference of a circle whose radius is 8cm
Area
The space occupied by a flat shape or the surface of an object is called the area.
Note: Area measured in square units.
Area of a Circle
Where π = 22/7 or 3.14
Example 2
Find the area of a circle whose radius is 15 mm.
Example 3
Calculate the area and circumference of a circle whose radius is 5cm
