Activity: Identify the following objects:

What did you notice on the

given pictures?
Let us recall how to find the
circumference of a circle.
The distance around a circle is called
its circumference.
The distance across a circle through
its center is called its diameter.
We use the Greek letter (read as
“Pī” with a short i) to represent the
ratio of the circumference of a circle
to its diameter. When rounded off, =
3.14.
In this lesson, you are going to
derive the formula for area of a
circle. Do you know that finding the
area of a circle is easier if we use a
formula?

Let’s Find it out.

Areas have many practical
applications even in the past
centuries.

• The Chinese knew how to calculate

the area of many different two-
dimensional shapes by about 100
B.C.
• Johannes Keppler, 1571 to 1630, measured
the areas of sections of planetary orbits using
formulas for calculating areas of ovals or
circles.

• Sir Isaac Newton used the concept of area to

develop Calculus.

The concept of area became even more useful

when formulas in finding areas of different
shapes were developed.
The area of a circle is the total
region that is bounded by the
circumference.

Think of the area of a circle as the

amount of surface enclosed inside
the circle.
The formula in finding the area of a
circle is:

𝐴=𝜋 𝑟
2
𝑜𝑟 𝐴=𝜋 𝑥 𝑟 𝑥 𝑟
In this formula, "A," is the area, "r" is
the radius, and “” is a Greek letter
pronounced as "pi" which is constant and
approximately equal to 3.14, the ratio of
the circumference to its diameter.
Recall that the radius (r) of a circle is the distance
from its center to any point on the circle.
Example 1 : The radius of a circle is 3 meters. What
is the area of the circle?
Solution 2
𝐴=𝜋 𝑟
: 𝐴=(3.14) (3 𝑚)
2

𝐴=(3.14) (3 𝑚)(3 𝑚)
2
𝐴=(3.14) (9 𝑚 )
2
𝐴=28.26 𝑚
Example 2:
The diameter of a circle is 8 centimeters. What is
the area of the circle?

Find first the

Solution 2
: 𝐴=𝜋 𝑟
radius:
2
𝐴=(3.14) (4 𝑐𝑚)
d=2xr
𝐴=(3.14) (4 𝑐𝑚)(4 𝑐𝑚)
8 cm = 2 x r
2
𝐴=(3.14) (16 𝑐𝑚 )
8cm ÷ 2 = r
r= 4 cm

𝐴=50. 24 𝑐𝑚

Are you familiar with the object below?
Do you know how to tell the
time?
Why is it important to know
the time?

The clock tells us the correct

time. The small hand of the
clock tells the hour while the
long hand tells the minute.
If the shorthand

2. What are the given?
2.2. cm and 4.7 cm
3. How do we find the area of the

4. What is the formula in finding the

area of a circle?
 Take note that in finding the area of a circle,
we use the formula:

Where: = 3.1416. or 3.14 and r = radius

let’s apply the formula in solving the problem

above.

π = 3.14.
r = 4.7 cm - the measurement of the long hand
let’s apply the
2
formula in 𝐴=𝜋 𝑟
solving the 2
problem above. 𝐴=(3.14) (4.7 𝑐𝑚)
𝐴=(3.14) (4.7 𝑐𝑚)( 4.7 𝑐𝑚)

Take note also that Pi is the ratio of
the circumference of a circle to its
diameter, Pi is always the same
number for any circle.
The value of π (pi) is approximately
3.1416 but usually rounded to
3.14. since the formula is only

of the diameter.

A non-routine problem is any complex
problem that requires some degree of
creativity or originality to solve. Non-
routine problems typically do not have an
immediately apparent strategy for solving
them. Oftentimes, these problems can be
solved in multiple ways.
Read and understand the problem below.

A square garden has an area of 25 sq. m.

A sprinkler at a center of the garden
covers the side of the garden. What is the
area cover by the sprinkler?
Applying the four steps in solving non-
routine problems;

1. Understand: Know what is asked.

Identify the given facts.
2. Plan: Choose the operation or the

follow;
1. Understand: Know what is asked.
Identify the given facts.
What is asked in the problem?
The area covered by the sprinkler.
What is the needed information to answer
what is asked for?
25 area of the garden
2. Plan: Choose the operation or the
formula to be used.
Now it’s time to decide on a plan of
action! Choose a reasonable
problem -solving strategy. Several
are listed below. You may only need
to use one strategy or a combination
of strategies.
• draw a picture or diagram
• make an organized list
• make a table
• solve a simpler related problem
• find a pattern
• guess and check
• act out a problem
• work backward
In our problem what we will do is to
draw a diagram.
The given is only the area of the
square garden and what is asked
for is the area of the circle. We
have to find first the
measurement of the side of the
square from its area to know the
diameter of the circle. From its
diameter we can get the radius
and solve for the area of the
circle.
Area of a square = side x side
25 sq. m = s x s
25 sq.m = 5m x 5m
Side = 5m
3. Solve: Perform the strategy.
Now it’s time to dig in and get to
work!
If the side of the square is 5m, the
diameter of the circle is also 5m.

R= half of diameter therefore, r=

2.5 m
To solve for the area of the circle we
use the formula;
A=
A=πxrxr
= 3.14 x 2.5m x 2.5m
= 3.14 x 6.25 m2
A= 19.625 m2
4. Check:
Verify if the answer is correct.
You’ve come so far, but you’re not
finished yet! A mathematician must
always go back and check his/her
work. Reviewing your work is just as
important as the first 3 steps!
Before asking yourself the questions
below, reread the problem and
review all your work.
Therefore, the area covered by the
sprinkler is 19.625 sq. m
Let’s try another one.

Bernadette has a circular fountain. In the

middle of the fountain there is a statue
with
a diameter of 2m. The diameter of the
fountain is 10m. What is the area of the
fountain not covered by the statue?
What is asked:
The area of the fountain not covered by
the statue

What are the given:

Diameter of the fountain = 10m
Diameter of the statue = 2m
What to do?
Make a drawing. The colored circle is the
statue and we are going to find the area of
unshaded part.
Find the area of the fountain and statue then
subtract.
Area of the fountain Area of the statue
A=πxrxr A=πxrxr
= 3.14 x 5m x 5m = 3.14 x 1m x 1m
= 3.14 x 25 = 3.14 x 1
A= 78.5 A= 3.14
78.5 m2 – 3.14 m2 = 75.36
Therefore, the area of the fountain without
the statue is 75.36
Read the problem and do the needed steps.
