Areas Related to Circles
The fixed point O is called the centre of the circle and the constant distance r is called the length of radius of the circle.
The perimeter of a circle is called its circumference. The length of the thread that winds tightly around the circle exactly once gives the circumference of the circle.
Circumference\[=2\pi r=\pi d\], where r = radius and d = diameter.
Here \[\pi \] (Pi) is a constant.
Note: The approximate value of n is taken as\[\frac{22}{7}\]or 3.14. However n is not a rational number. It is an irrational number and is defined as the ratio of circumference of a circle to its diameter.
Area of a circle with radius r units is equal to\[\pi {{r}^{2}}sq\]units.
The region enclosed between two concentric circles of different radii is called a ring.
Area of path formed\[=(\pi {{R}^{2}}-\pi {{r}^{2}})sq.\] units
\[=\pi ({{R}^{2}}-{{r}^{2}})sq.units\]
\[=\pi (R+r)(R-r)sq.units\]
Let A and B be any two points on a circle. The length of the thread that will wrap along this arc from A to B is the length of AB written as\[\overset\frown{AB}\]?
In a circle of radius r, we have
\[\frac{l(\overset\frown{AB})}{Circumference}=\frac{{{x}^{o}}}{{{360}^{o}}}or\,l(\overset\frown{AB})=\frac{2\pi r{{x}^{o}}}{{{360}^{o}}}\]
A sector of a circle is the region enclosed by an arc of a circle and two radii to its end points. Area of sector \[=\frac{{{x}^{o}}}{{{360}^{o}}}\times \pi {{r}^{2}}\]where x is sector angle and r is radius of circle.
A segment of a circle is the region enclosed by an arc of the circle and its chord.
Area of minor setment \[\text{AXB}=\]area of sector OAXB - area of \[\Delta \text{OAB}\]
Area of major segment AYB = area of circle - area of minor segment AXB
