Important Formulas to Find Area & Circumference of a Circle

BY Team Aakash Byju's

A circle is a collection of points present at equal distances (radius) from a fixed point (centre) on the plane.

Definition of a Circle

Flames

At the centre of the circle is a fixed point called the centre or origin of the circle.

Flames

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'.

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.
