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

Summary
In this lesson we have learned:
- A circle is all the points equidistant from a center point
- The area of a circle:
</mi> <msup> <mi>r</mi> <mn>2</mn> </msup> </math>' data-equation-content="A=\pi r^2">
- The area of a sector of d degrees:
</mi> <msup> <mi>r</mi> <mn>2</mn> </msup> </math>' data-equation-content="A=\frac{d}{360}\pi r^2">
- The circumference of a circle:
</mi> <mi>d</mi> <mo>=</mo> <mn>2</mn> <mi>π</mi> <mi>r</mi> </math>' data-equation-content="C=\pi d=2\pi r">
- The distance of an arc of a degrees:
</mi> <mi>d</mi> <mo>=</mo> <mfrac> <mi>a</mi> <mn>180</mn> </mfrac> <mi>π</mi> <mi>r</mi> </math>' data-equation-content="Arc=\frac{a}{360}\pi d=\frac{a}{180}\pi r">
