2. Area of a circle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_of_a_circle

   The area of a regular polygon is half its perimeter multiplied by the distance from its center to its sides, and because the sequence tends to a circle, the corresponding formula–that the area is half the circumference times the radius–namely, A = ⁠ 1 2 ⁠ × 2πr × r, holds for a circle.

3. Pi - Wikipedia

   The area of the circle equals π times the shaded area. The area of the unit circle is π. π appears in formulae for areas and volumes of geometrical shapes based on circles, such as ellipses, spheres, cones, and tori. Below are some of the more common formulae that involve π. [149] The circumference of a circle with radius r is 2πr. The ...

4. Liu Hui's π algorithm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liu_Hui's_π_algorithm

   Liu Hui's method of calculating the area of a circle. Liu Hui's π algorithm was invented by Liu Hui (fl. 3rd century), a mathematician of the state of Cao Wei.Before his time, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter was often taken experimentally as three in China, while Zhang Heng (78–139) rendered it as 3.1724 (from the proportion of the celestial circle to the diameter ...

5. Measurement of a Circle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_of_a_Circle

   Proposition one states: The area of any circle is equal to a right-angled triangle in which one of the sides about the right angle is equal to the radius, and the other to the circumference of the circle. Any circle with a circumference c and a radius r is equal in area with a right triangle with the two legs being c and r.

6. Cyclic quadrilateral - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_quadrilateral

   Cyclic quadrilateral. In Euclidean geometry, a cyclic quadrilateral or inscribed quadrilateral is a quadrilateral whose vertices all lie on a single circle. This circle is called the circumcircle or circumscribed circle, and the vertices are said to be concyclic. The center of the circle and its radius are called the circumcenter and the ...

7. Circle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

   The circle is a highly symmetric shape: every line through the centre forms a line of reflection symmetry, and it has rotational symmetry around the centre for every angle. Its symmetry group is the orthogonal group O(2,R). The group of rotations alone is the circle group T. All circles are similar. [12] A circle circumference and radius are ...
