FINDING THE AREA OF A GIVEN CIRCLE

AND SOLVING ROUTINE AND NON-ROUTINE PROBLEMS
INVOLVING THE AREA OF A CIRCLE

Let’s Recall
Find the circumference of each circle: Use 3.14 for the value of 𝝅.

Lesson 1: Finding the Area of a Given Circle (M5ME-IVa-74)

Let’s Understand
Let us Study the problem below.
Jun is painting a large circle on a wall of Sampaloc Site II Elementary School.
The distance across the circle is 18 feet. How many square feet of wall will the circle
cover?

Solution:
Whenever you are asked to find the number of square feet covered by something, you
are finding an area. To find the area of Jun’s circle, we first need to figure out if we have been
given the radius or the diameter. By definition, the diameter of a circle is the longest distance
across the circle, so we know here that the diameter is 18 feet. Radius is half of the diameter.
This means that the radius is 9 feet. Therefore, use the formula A = πr2 where π = 3.14 or
𝟐𝟐
.
𝟕

18 ft A = 𝜋r2
A = 3.14 x (9)2
A = 3.14 x 9x9
A = 3.14 x 81
A = 254.34 ft2

Remember that area is expressed in square units.

So, Jun’s circle will cover 254.34 square feet.

Lesson 2: Solve Routine and Non-Routine Problems

Involving the Area of a Circle (M5ME-IVb-75)

Let’s Understand
Study the problems.

A. The diameter of a drum instrument is 18 inches. Find the area of its surface. Use 𝝅 =
3.14.

How will you solve the problem? You can solve the problem following these steps:
Steps Answer
 Understand:
1. Know what is asked in the problem. - the area of the surface of a drum instrument
2. Know the given facts. - 18 inches in diameter (so, its radius is 9 in)
 Plan
3. Determine the operation or formula to use. A = 𝝅r2
 Solve A = 𝝅r2
4. Show the solution using the formula. = 3.14 x 92
=3.14 x 81
= 254.34 in2
 Check and Look Back
5. Check your answer. - the surface of the drum instrument has an
State your answer. area of 254.34in2.

B. Andrew draws a circle inside a square piece of paper whose area is 16 square
inches. He makes sure that the circle touches each side of the square. What is
the area of the circle?
Solution: You may illustrate the problem. Since the only given fact is the area of the
square which is 16 in2, we need to find its side. The area of a square is equal to side
times side. What could be the side if it is equal to 16? The side is equal to 4. So, the
diameter of the circle is equal to the side of the square. To solve the area of the circle,
we need to find the measure of its radius. Since the diameter is 4 in, its radius is 2 in
(diameter = 2 radius). Now, substitute this value to the formula,

A = 𝝅r2
= 3.14 x 22
= 3.14 x 4
= 12.56 in2
Therefore, the circle has an area of 12.56 in2.
