How to find the area of a circle.
The Area of a circle.
Area is the measure of a certain surface bounded by certain limits. It is a derivative quantity of length. The SI unit of area is square meter (m^2), other measures are cm^2, km^2,Ares, ha, etc.
A circle is a round shape consisting of a curved line that completely binds a space and is the same distance from the center at every point of origin. Has a circular shape.
The area of a circle “A” with radius “r” is given by, A=Ï€r^2.
The area of a sector subtends 360° at the center of the origin. Then,
360° corresponds to Ï€r^2.
0° corresponds to (0/360°)×Ï€r^2.
10° corresponds to (10/360°)×Ï€r^2.
180° corresponds to (180/360°)×Ï€r^2.
Hence, the area of a sector subtending to a certain angle ∅ is given by ;
A=(∅ /360°)×Ï€r^2.
Example 1.
Find the area of a circle with radius 14 m and subtend to 90° from the origin. (use Ï€= 22/7).
Solution
Area of a circle A =(∅/360°)×Ï€r^2.
A=(90°/360)×22/7 ×(14 m)^2=
153.999999999 m^2.
Example 2.
Find the area of the circle with a radius of 70 cm and subtend to 180° from the origin.(use Ï€= 3.14).
Solution
Area of a circle A =(∅/360°)×Ï€r^2.
A=180°/360°×3.14×(70 cm)^2
=7693 cm^2.
Example 3.
Find the area of a circle with a radius of 70 cm and subtend to 360° from the origin. (Use Ï€=22/7).
Solution
Area of a circle A =(∅/360°)×Ï€r^2
A=360°/360×22/7×(70 cm)^2
=15400 cm^2.
