✓ Radius
✓ centre
✓ chord
✓ sector
✓segment
✓circumference

The calculation surrounding circle are

✓The perimeter of a circle.
√ The Area of a circle
√ The radius of a circle
✓ The diameter of a circle
✓ The chord of a circle
✓ The circumference of a circle

HOW TO CALCULATE THE PERIMETER OF A CIRCLE.

Example 1: Find the perimeter of a circle with radius 4cm

Solution

C= 2πr

Where

π = 22/7 r = 4cm

Perimeter = Circumference = C = ?

C = 2 × 22/7 × 4cm

C = 176cm/7

C = 25.1429cm
