5. Course 2
9-5 Area of Circles
A circle can be cut into equal-sized
sectors and arranged to resemble a
parallelogram. The height h of the
parallelogram is equal to the radius
r of the circle, and the base b of the
parallelogram is equal to one-half
the circumference C of the circle.
So the area of the parallelogram can be written as
A = bh, or A =
1

Cr.
Since C = 2πr, A = 1

(2πr)r = πr2
.
