Area And Circumference Of Circle

Basic Terms :

Before discussing about formulas for finding area and circumference of circle , we need to study the following terms related to circle .

1. Area of circle

The area enclosed by a circle is known as area of circle.

2. Circumference of circle

The perimeter i.e, the total length of the circle is known as it's circumference.

3. Radius

A line drawn from centre of the circle to any point on it's circumference is known as it's radius.

In the above diagram, line segment OP drawn from the centre O to a point on circumference P is known as radius and is denoted by 'r'.

Similarly, you can draw OQ, OR and OS as the radii of the given circle.

4. Diameter

In the above point we discussed about radius of circle. So, we can say that diameter is equal to double the radius of circle.

Diameter is the line joining any two points on the circumference through the centre.

In the above diagram , PQ, RS, DE are the diameters of the given circle. It is interesting to note that the diameter divides the circle into two equal parts.( two semi-circles).

5. π (Pi)

This is a mathematical constant. It is defined as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It is approximately equal to 3.14159 .

While calculating area and circumference of circle we take π= 22/7 ( this is not exact value of π) .

Formulae

Area👇. Circumference👇

πr^2. 2πr

For example-

In the above diagram the area of that circle with radius 2 cm is 12.57cm^2(area= πr^2= 22/7×2×2= 88/7=12.57cm^2) and circumference is 12.57cm ( circumference = 2.π.r = 2×22/7×2 = 88/7=12.57cm )

Note: The area and circumference of the same circle can be equal only in circles whose radius is 2

Is Maldives a neighbouring country of India?

Maldives is an island country which is located in the Indian Ocean. Hence, it has no land connections or shares with India but has sea borders as Sri Lanka has. Therefore, Maldives and Sri Lanka both countries share maritime borders with India

UNIVERSAL LAW OF GRAVITATION

We know that everything that goes up comes down due to gravity . But have you seen Moon crashing into the Earth or Earth crashing into the Sun while revolving ? Ofcourse not . The answer lies in the fact that they move side ways relative to the Earth's and Sun's surface . To solve this , The Great Scientist "Issac Newton" studied the previous works of Kepler and Galileo and came up with a law for gravitation . The Law states that :- 1) Every particle of matter attracts every other particle of matter . 2) Force of attraction is proportional to the product of masses of the particles which means heavier the bodies more the force of attraction between them . 3) If distance between the particles is doubled , the force decreases by 4 times . Therefore , we get F ∝M.m/r 2 In order to turn proportionality into equation we have to replace the 'proportionality symbol' with an 'equal to' symbol and that means we have to add a constant wh...

India's neighbouring countries

Neighbouring countries of India with population and area cover- India has land borders with seven countries and maritime borders with two countries. These are as follows- Countries with land borders- 1. Pakistan 2. Afghanistan 3. China 4. Nepal 5. Bhutan 6. Bangladesh 7. Myanmar Countries with sea borders- 1. Maldives 2. Sri Lanka We will discuss about area, population, capital, form of government and currency of each neighbouring country. First , we will discuss about countries that share land borders with India. 1. Pakistan Pakistan covers area of 881,913 square kilometers and area wise it is the 33rd largest country in the world. It is one of the populous countries with 212.2 million population. Capital- Islamabad Currency- Pakistani rupee Form of government- Federal Republic 2. Afghanistan Afghanistan shares shortest land border with India in Jammu & Kashmir (POK part). It covers an area of about 652,230 square kilometers and has popu...
