DRAWING CIRCLES USING A COMPASS

Step 1: Measure 5 centimeters on a ruler with a compass.
Example

Step 2: Then draw a circle. Draw and label the center O and four radii: \(\overline{O P}\), \(\overline{O Q}\), \(\overline{O R}\) and \(\overline{O S}\).
Example

Step 3: Measure the radii \(\overline{O P}\), \(\overline{O Q}\), \(\overline{O R}\), and \(\overline{O S}\). What can you say about the lengths of \(\overline{O P}\), \(\overline{O Q}\), \(\overline{O R}\), and \(\overline{O S}\)?
Answer:
\(\overline{O P}\) = 5 centimeters, \(\overline{O Q}\) = 5 centimeters, \(\overline{O R}\), = 5 centimeters and \(\overline{O S}\) = 5 centimeters,

Explanation:
The lengths of \(\overline{O P}\), \(\overline{O Q}\), \(\overline{O R}\), and \(\overline{O S}\) are 5 centimeters as we measured 5 centimeters on a ruler with a compass and then drawa a circle and labelled the center O and four radii \(\overline{O P}\), \(\overline{O Q}\), \(\overline{O R}\) and \(\overline{O S}\) so the lengtha are 5 cm each.

INVESTIGATING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CIRCUMFERENCE AND DIAMETER OF A CIRCLE

Step 1: Lisa uses a string to measure the circumference of each circle to the nearest tenth of a centimeter and records it in a table.

Copy the table. Divide the circumference of each circle by its diameter. Round your answers to the nearest tenth. Record your results.

What do you notice about the quotients in the last column?
The circumference of any circle divided by its diameter always gives the same value.

The Greek letter π is used to represent this value.

Step 2: To see the value of π up to 9 decimal places, press π Enter on your calculator. Round the value of π to
a) the nearest tenth.
b) the nearest hundredth.
c) the nearest thousandth.

Step 3: In Step 1, you learned that the circumference of any circle divided by its diameter is equal to n. You can use this fact to write a formula for the circumference of a circle.
Complete the following statement.
Since circumference ÷ diameter = π,
Circumference = π •
You also know that the diameter of a circle is 2 times its radius. You can use this fact to write a related formula for the circumference of a circle. Complete the following statement.
Circumference = π • diameter
= π • 2 •
= 2 • π •
Using C for circumference, d for diameter, and r for radius, you can write these formulas as
C = πd
C = 2πr
Math Note
πd means π • d and 2πr means 2 • π • r.

Copy and complete the table. Use \(\frac{22}{7}\) as an approximation for π.

Question 4.

Answer:

Explanation:
Given A has diameterr 14 cm so as circumfrence = πd so diameter is circumfrence/ π, 14 = circumfrence/ π,
so circumfrence = 14 X π = 14 X 3.14 = 43.96 cms, Now radius = circumfrence/ 2π = 43.96/ 2 X 3.14 = 43.96/6.28 = 7 cm. Circle B has radius 21 cm so diameter =  2r = 2 X 21 cm = 42 cms, circumfrence = 2πr = 2 X 3.14 X 21 cm = 131.88 cm and Circle C has radius 10.5 cm so diameter =  2r = 2 X 10.5 cm =  21 cms, circumfrence = 2πr = 2 X 3.14 X 10.5 cm = 65.94 cm. Completed the table as shown above.

so circumfrence = 25 X π = 25 X 3.14 = 78.5 cms, Now radius = circumfrence/ 2π = 78.5/ 2 X 3.14 =78.5/6.28 = 12.5 cm. Circle E has radius 16 cm so diameter =  2r = 2 X 16 cm = 32 cms, circumfrence = 2πr = 2 X 3.14 X 16 cm = 100.48 cm and Circle F has radius 8.25 cm so diameter =  2r = 2 X 8.25 cm = 16.5 cms, circumfrence = 2πr = 2 X 3.14 X 8.25 cm = 51.81 cm. Completed the table as shown above.
