Geometry
Lesson 9
Objective
Solve real-world and mathematical problems using the relationship between the area of a circle and its radius.
Common Core Standards
Core Standards

-
7.G.B.4 — Know the formulas for the area and circumference of a circle and use them to solve problems; give an informal derivation of the relationship between the circumference and area of a circle.
Criteria for Success
?
- Know the formula that relates the area and radius of a circle: $${{A=\pi r^2}}$$.
- Use the formula $${{A=\pi r^2}}$$ to solve problems.
Tips for Teachers
?
Lessons 8 and 9 focus on the relationship between a circle’s area and its radius. In Lesson 9, students will solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area. Students will solve more problems involving all measurements of circles in Lessons 10 and 11.

Problem Set
?
The following resources include problems and activities aligned to the objective of the lesson that can be used to create your own problem set.
- Include problems with composite shapes including simple quadrilaterals, triangle, and circles or semi-circles.
- Include problems where students determine the percent increase in area from one circle to another; for example, a medium pizza has a diameter of 14 inches and a large pizza has a diameter of 16 inches. By what percent is the area of the large pizza greater than the medium pizza?
