Circumference and Area of A Circle

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on efficient methods to calculate the circumference and area of a circle, emphasizing the use of the radius or diameter. Key formulas include the circumference \(C = \pi d\) and area \(A = \frac{\pi}{4} d^2\), where \(d\) is the diameter. Participants suggest using approximations like \(\pi \approx 3\) or \(\frac{22}{7}\) for quick calculations, particularly in multiple-choice scenarios. Additionally, Vedic mathematics techniques are mentioned as a way to simplify these calculations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic geometry concepts, specifically circles.
  • Familiarity with the mathematical constant \(\pi\).

hello expert...

How to find the circumference of a circle and area of a circle quickly?
it's possible using method like ratio or series like pythagoras theory (3,4,5).
or another way?

somebody could help me out?

cheers...

What do you know about the circle?
 
You can find both using the radius (or diameter) of the circle. The main way to find them is also the quickest way
 
hi guys...

i want to easy find area & circumference of circle to multiple choice exam with "tactics & logic" approach, again like triagle phytagoras concept just know 3,4 the last result must be 5..

I'm still not 100% sure what you're asking. I get the impression you want to know a way of finding the area of a circle without having to work it out in the same way that if you know two sides of a right angled triangle are 3 and 4 then the third must be 5.

If so then the only real shortcut is to learn the results. I would also use exact answers (left in terms of $$\pi$$) as it's both easier to work out and correct (not an approximation).

In multiple choice it may be worth saying $$\pi \approx 3$$



If you're given the diameter instead of the radius then you can use these formulae:

[math]C = \pi d[/math] and $$A = \frac{\pi}{4} d^2 $$ where $$d$$ is the diameter.

Just remember not to use that approximation too much...

hello guys...

I found the nearest value of area of the circle with a simple trick using vedic maths..

please, read this link http://vedicmathstricks.yolasite.com/

how do make formula for find the nearest value of circumference of the circle?

any ideas?

thanks...
 
It appears to me what is being done there is to use 22/7 as an approximation for $\pi$ (I recall using this approximation in primary school). If you require more decimal places, then you can use 355/113.

using vedic method, how to find easy radius? i mean simple calculation..
 
If we are given the area $A$ of a circle, or the circumference $C$, then using the rational approximation:

$$\pi\approx\frac{22}{7}$$

then we find:

$$A\approx\frac{22}{7}r^2\implies r\approx\sqrt{\frac{7A}{22}}$$

$$C\approx2\cdot\frac{22}{7}r\implies r\approx\frac{7C}{44}$$
