FAQs on Solved Examples - Areas Related to Circle, Maths, Class 8

1. What is the formula to calculate the area of a circle?
Ans. The formula to calculate the area of a circle is A = πr², where A is the area and r is the radius of the circle. π is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, which is approximately equal to 3.14.
2. How do you find the circumference of a circle?
Ans. The formula to calculate the circumference of a circle is C = 2πr, where C is the circumference and r is the radius of the circle. π is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, which is approximately equal to 3.14.
3. What is the relationship between the radius and diameter of a circle?
Ans. The diameter of a circle is twice the length of its radius. In other words, if you multiply the radius by 2, you get the diameter. Conversely, if you divide the diameter by 2, you get the radius.
4. How do you calculate the radius of a circle if you know its area?
Ans. The formula to calculate the radius of a circle if you know its area is r = √(A/π), where r is the radius and A is the area of the circle. π is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, which is approximately equal to 3.14.
5. Can the area of a circle be negative?
Ans. No, the area of a circle cannot be negative. The area of a circle is always a positive value because it is a measure of the amount of space enclosed by the circle. If the radius of the circle is negative, then the area would still be positive because the formula for the area of a circle involves squaring the radius, which makes it positive.
