The Circumference/ Diameter Ratio

Pi

Calculate pi, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.

Use the ratio pi to find missing distances. Use problem solving skills.

Today’s Objectives

Perimeter Circumference

The distance around a polygon is called the perimeter

The distance around a circle is called the circumference

Height of a tennis ball can?

Circumference of the canister?

Which is greater?

Let’s try it !!!

The circumference of the canister is greater than the height of the canister or three tennis balls.

The taste of pi In this investigation you will find an

approximate value for π by measuring circular objects and calculating the ratio of the circumference to the diameter. Lets see how close you come to the actual value of π.
