Circles

Substitute C = 30 π in the circumference


formula .
On the SAT you will calculate both the area and
circumference of circles , as well as the area and
arc length of part of a circle . You will also solve
problems about lines tangent to circles . Begin
with the mathematics review and then complete
and correct the practice problems . There are 2
solved SAT problems and 15 Practice SAT
questions with answer explanations . Area of a circle is A = π r2

Circle - a set of points equidistant from a given


Example :
point , the center .
What is the area of a circle with diameter
Radius - the distance from the center of a circle 20 ?
to its perimeter .

Central Angle - the angle with endpoints


located on a circle’s circumference and vertex
located at the the circle’s center
∠AOC below is a central angle

Diameter - the maximum distance from one


point on the circle to another point on the circle .

The diameter is twice the length of the radius . d


= 2r

Arc-a piece of the circumference .

Example :

Circumferene - the perimeter of the circle , C = What is the measure of Arc ABC in circle O
2πr = πd seen below ?

Example :
What is the radius of a circle with
circumference of 30 π ?
Example :
AB is tangent to circle 0 at point A . OB = 13 ,
and AB = 12 . What is the radius of the circle ?

Use the Pythagorean Theorem .

Sector - a piece of the area .

Therefore , the radius is 5 . You could also


notice the triangle is a 5-12-13 right triangle .
Example :
This observation would allow you to find the
The area of a sector in a circle with radius 3 is
length of the radius much more quickly .
3π . What is the measure of the central angle ?

Tangent - line that touches the circle at one


point . In the figure below
AB is tangent to circle O .

When a line is tangent to a circle , the line is


perpendicular to the radius at the point of
tangency . Therefore , in the figure below
2 . What is the diameter of a circle whose area is
4?

Practice :

1 . What is the area of a circle whose


circumference is 12π ?

3 . What is the area of the shaded region ?


The circle is 3600 and the shaded region is 3000 .
Write a fraction .
