Question Answer
Circle A closed figure with points that are the same distance from a point, called the center
How many letters is the center of circle named? 1
How many letters are the radius, the diameter and the chord? 2
Radius A line segment that goes from the center of the circle to a point on the circle -- in other words, the radius is a line that goes halfway across the circle from or to the center. The radius is half the diameter
Diameter A line segment going across the circle passing through the center point. It divides the circle into two equal parts -- called semicircles. The diameter is twice the radius
Chord A line segment going all the way across the circle, but not passing through the center
How many degrees does a whole circle have? 360
How many degrees does a semicircle have? 180
Circumference The distance around the outside of a circle
What is the greek letter pi equal to? 3.14 or 22/7
Irrational Number A number that cannot be written as a simple fraction or as a decimal with a finite (limited) number of decimal places
What is the formula for finding the circumference of a circle? Circumference = pi * diameter
What is the formula for finding the area of a circle? A = pi * radius2 or A = pr2
What happens if the diameter is not given? The number given is the radius and you remembered that the diameter is twice the radius
What happens if you are given a diameter of a circle, before you can figure the area? You must figure out what the radius is by dividing by 2 or thinking “what is half of the diameter?”
Cylinder A 3-dimensional shape that has a circle as the top and bottom surface
What is the top to the bottom of a cylinder called? Height
What is the formula for finding the volume of a cylinder? V = p * r² * height or V = pr2h What you are doing is finding the area of a circle ( p * radius * radius), then multiplying that by the height. This will figure what would fit inside the cylinder.
How is the volume always measured? Cubic units
Cone A 3-dimensional figure with a circular base and sides that meet at a point
What is the formula for finding the volume of a cone? Volume = 1/3 * p * radius2* height
