Math - Lesson 66. Practice and evens only. Remember, to find the circumference of a circle, multiply pi x the diameter. The book will tell you whether you leave pi as pi, use 3.14 for pi, or use 22/7 for pi. Regardless of which way you do it, you multiply the diameter and pi.

To find the area, you multiply pi x the radius SQUARED. If the radius is 3, then you multiply pi x 9 since 3x3=9. Also, remember that if you are given the diameter, first cut it in half to get the radius, then multiply THAT by itself. For example, if the diameter was 10, to find the area, you would divide 10 by 2 to get the radius of 5. Then, multiply 5x5 to get 25. Then multiply 25 x 3.14.

Eighth Grade

There is a test tomorrow for both classes. Below are the answers and explanations for the problems on the practice test that we didn't get to. If you have any questions, email me!
