Maths -Circumference and Area Of a Circle

Today in maths we had to find the circumference of two circles and their area, here is how I worked out both of them,

Diameter = 92cm(small)

Circumference = 92cm x 3.14 =288.88cm

Area = 92cm ÷ 2 = 46cm

46cm x 46cm x 3.14 = 6644.24sqcm

Diameter = 339cm(Large)

Circumference = 339cm x 3.14 = 1064.46cm

Area = 339 ÷ 2 = 169.5cm

169.5cm x 169.5cm x 3.14 = 90212.985sqcm

After we found the two areas we had to get the area of the big circle and subtract the area of the small circle, here is the answer,

90212.985sqcm – 6644.24sqcm = 83568.745 sq cm

 

Here is some more work we did on a worksheet,
