Area of Polygons and Circles
Area of Polygons and Circles Area formulas can be found at "Reference Table for Areas" Let's pick up some hints for those more challenging problems involving area.Regular polygons have a center and a radius (coinciding with their circumscribed circle), and the distance from the center perpendicular to any side is called its apothem.The apothem of a regular polygon … [Read more...] about Area of Polygons and Circles
How To Calculate The Perimeter Of A Circle
Perimeter Of A Circle Circumference of a Circle Circumference means, ‘the perimeter of a circle’. The word has been derived from the Latin word circumferre means to carry around. The distance around a circular region is also known as its circumference.Note:The ratio of circumference to diameter is approximately the same around 3.142. i.e. The circumference of a … [Read more...] about How To Calculate The Perimeter Of A Circle
How To Calculate The Area Of A Circle
How To Calculate The Area Of A Circle A circle is the locus of a point which moves in a plane in such a way that its distance from a fixed point always remains same. The fixed point is called the centre and the given constant distance is known as the radius of the circle. The perimeter of a circle is known as its circumference. If r is the radius of a circle, then (i) … [Read more...] about How To Calculate The Area Of A Circle
