Good day Mathletes! This module was designed and written to help you gain an understanding of and to test your ability in finding the area of a given circle. We know that formula serves as the guide in solving for the area of a circle. Knowing how to derive the formula and how to use them in real-life situations is important, especially in solving for the area of a circle. So, what are you waiting for? Stay focused and start-up.
At the end of this module, you are expected to:
- describe the different terms used in the formula;
- appreciate the importance of formula in finding the area of a circle; and
- derive a formula in finding the area of a circle.
Before going any further, let us check your understanding about deriving the formula in finding the area of a circle.
