  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. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    t. e. 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.

  4. Circular arc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_arc

    A circular sector is shaded in green. Its curved boundary of length L is a circular arc. A circular arc is the arc of a circle between a pair of distinct points.If the two points are not directly opposite each other, one of these arcs, the minor arc, subtends an angle at the center of the circle that is less than π radians (180 degrees); and the other arc, the major arc, subtends an angle ...

  5. Unit circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_circle

    Illustration of a unit circle. The variable t is an angle measure. Animation of the act of unrolling the circumference of a unit circle, a circle with radius of 1. Since C = 2πr, the circumference of a unit circle is 2π. In mathematics, a unit circle is a circle of unit radius—that is, a radius of 1. [1]

  6. Measurement of a Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_of_a_Circle

    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.

    A circle of radius 5 centered at the origin has area 25 ... For a circle with slightly smaller radius, the area is nearly the same, but the circle contains only 69 ...

  9. 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.
