2. Area of a circle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_of_a_circle

   The area of a regular polygon is half its perimeter multiplied by the distance from its center to its sides, and because the sequence tends to a circle, the corresponding formula–that the area is half the circumference times the radius–namely, A = ⁠ 1 2 ⁠ × 2πr × r, holds for a circle.

3. Circumference - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumference

   v. t. e. In geometry, the circumference (from Latin circumferens, meaning "carrying around") is the perimeter of a circle or ellipse. [1] The circumference is the arc length of the circle, as if it were opened up and straightened out to a line segment. [2] More generally, the perimeter is the curve length around any closed figure.

4. Circle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

   A circle is a shape consisting of all points in a plane that are at a given distance from a given point, the centre. The distance between any point of the circle and the centre is called the radius. The length of a line segment connecting two points on the circle and passing through the centre is called the diameter.

5. Perimeter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perimeter

   Perimeter is the distance around a two dimensional shape, a measurement of the distance around something; the length of the boundary. A perimeter is a closed path that encompasses, surrounds, or outlines either a two dimensional shape or a one-dimensional length. The perimeter of a circle or an ellipse is called its circumference.

6. Measurement of a Circle - Wikipedia

   Proposition one. Proposition one states: The area of any circle is equal to a right-angled triangle in which one of the sides about the right angle is equal to the radius, and the other to the circumference of the circle. Any circle with a circumference c and a radius r is equal in area with a right triangle with the two legs being c and r.

8. Pi - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi

   The area of the circle equals π times the shaded area. The area of the unit circle is π. π appears in formulae for areas and volumes of geometrical shapes based on circles, such as ellipses, spheres, cones, and tori. Below are some of the more common formulae that involve π. [150] The circumference of a circle with radius r is 2πr. The ...

9. Area - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area

   The formula for the surface area of a sphere was first obtained by Archimedes in his work On the Sphere and Cylinder. The formula is: [6] A = 4πr 2 (sphere), where r is the radius of the sphere. As with the formula for the area of a circle, any derivation of this formula inherently uses methods similar to calculus.
