Overview

The purpose of this lesson is to learn how to find the area of a circle or a sector and the distance of the circumference or an arc.

This lesson will address the following CCRS Standard(s) for Geometry:

7.G.4: Know the formulas for the area and circumference of a circle and use them to solve problems; give an informal derivation of the relationship between the circumference and the area of a circle
G.CO.1: Know precise definitions of angle, circle, perpendicular line, parallel line, and line segment, based on the undefined notions of point, line, distance along a line, and distance around a circular arc
