Lecture #1: circumference


●​ the circumference is a specific measurement related to this shape.
Think of it as the perimeter, but specifically for a circle. It's the total
length of the boundary that encloses the circular area.

●​ The radius (r) is the line segment extending from the center of the
circle to any point on its edge.

●​ The diameter (d) is a line segment that passes through the center of
the circle and has its endpoints on the circle. Importantly, the diameter
is always twice the length of the radius: d=2r​.
Lecture #2: Area of a Circle

●​ That's the amount of flat space enclosed within the circle's boundary,
the circumference we just talked about. Think of it like the amount of
carpet you'd need to cover a circular floor.

●​ Just like with circumference, we need either the radius (r) or the
diameter (d) to calculate the area. And, of course, our friend π makes
another appearance!

●​ to find the area, you take the radius, square it, and then multiply by π
(approximately 3.14).
Lecture #3: Cross sections of circular solids
●​ are the shapes you get when you slice through them. The
shape of the cross section depends on the angle and
direction of your "cut”.
●​ 3 major types:
cylinder:
●​ A slice parallel to the circular bases gives you another circle.
●​ A slice perpendicular to the bases and through the center gives you a
rectangle.
●​ An angled slice gives you an ellipse (an oval shape).

cone:
●​ A slice parallel to the circular base gives you a smaller circle.
●​ A slice through the tip and perpendicular to the base gives you a
triangle.
●​ An angled slice can give you an ellipse, a parabola (an open curve), or
even a hyperbola (two separate open curves) depending on the angle.

sphere:
is special! No matter how you slice it with a flat plane, the cross-section
you'll always get is a circle.
