The Title of the Project work is “Circle In Daily Life”. I am required to do research and
solve problem regarding circles and my daily life. With this project, I am able to understand
more about circles using methods like circular measures, differentiation, quadratic function,
quadratic equation, progressions, and others.
I would like to thank my teacher, Puan Umi Kalsom who had teache and guide me a lot
in the Additional Mathematics Project Work 2009. She had given me a lot of suggestion in order
to complete this project work.
Besides, I would like to thank my parents for helping me in getting the materials for this
project work. Also, they had given me some idea during my completion of the project work. I
would also like to thank all my friends like Azwan, Farhan, Fauzan, and the others who had
helped me a lot during the completion of the project.

-Introduction-
A circle is a simple shape of Euclidean geometry consisting of those points in a plane which
are the same distance from a given point called the centre. The common distance of the points of
a circle from its center is called its radius. A diameter is a line segment whose endpoints lie on
the circle and which passes through the centre of the circle. The length of a diameter is twice the
length of the radius. A circle is never a polygon because it has no sides or vertices.
Circles are simple closed curves which divide the plane into two regions, an interior and an
exterior. In everyday use the term "circle" may be used interchangeably to refer to either the
boundary of the figure (known as the perimeter) or to the whole figure including its interior, but
in strict technical usage "circle" refers to the perimeter while the interior of the circle is called a
disk. The circumference of a circle is the perimeter of the circle (especially when referring to its
length).
A circle is a special ellipse in which the two foci are coincident. Circles are conic sections
attained when a right circular cone is intersected with a plane perpendicular to the axis of the
cone.
The circle has been known since before the beginning of recorded history. It is the basis for
the wheel, which, with related inventions such as gears, makes much of modern civilization
possible. In mathematics, the study of the circle has helped inspire the development of geometry
and calculus.
Early science, particularly geometry and Astrology and astronomy, was connected to the
divine for most medieval scholars, and many believed that there was something intrinsically

There are a lot of things around us related to circles or parts of a circles. We need to play with
circles in order to complete some of the problems involving circles. In this project I will use the
Definition
diameter:
The ratio C/d is constant, regardless of a circle's size. For example, if a circle has twice the
diameter d of another circle it will also have twice the circumference C, preserving the ratio C/d.
Alternatively π can be also defined as the ratio of a circle's area (A) to the area of a square whose
These definitions depend on results of Euclidean geometry, such as the fact that all circles are
similar. This can be considered a problem when π occurs in areas of mathematics that otherwise
do not involve geometry. For this reason, mathematicians often prefer to define π without
History
The ancient Babylonians calculated the area of a circle by taking 3 times the square of its radius,
which gave a value of pi = 3. One Babylonian tablet (ca. 1900–1680 BC) indicates a value of
In the Egyptian Rhind Papyrus (ca.1650 BC), there is evidence that the Egyptians calculated the
area of a circle by a formula that gave the approximate value of 3.1605 for pi.
The ancient cultures mentioned above found their approximations by measurement. The first
calculation of pi was done by Archimedes of Syracuse (287–212 BC), one of the greatest
mathematicians of the ancient world. Archimedes approximated the area of a circle by using the
Pythagorean Theorem to find the areas of two regular polygons: the polygon inscribed within the
circle and the polygon within which the circle was circumscribed. Since the actual area of the
circle lies between the areas of the inscribed and circumscribed polygons, the areas of the
polygons gave upper and lower bounds for the area of the circle. Archimedes knew that he had
not found the value of pi but only an approximation within those limits. In this way, Archimedes
A similar approach was used by Zu Chongzhi (429–501), a brilliant Chinese mathematician and
astronomer. Zu Chongzhi would not have been familiar with Archimedes’ method—but because
his book has been lost, little is known of his work. He calculated the value of the ratio of the
circumference of a circle to its diameter to be 355/113. To compute this accuracy for pi, he must
have started with an inscribed regular 24,576-gon and performed lengthy calculations involving
Mathematicians began using the Greek letter π in the 1700s. Introduced by William Jones in
1706, use of the symbol was popularized by Euler, who adopted it in 1737.
An 18th century French mathematician named Georges Buffon devised a way to calculate pi
based on probability.

Diagram 1 shows a semicircle PQR of diameter 10cm. Semicircles PAB and BCR of diameter d1
and d2 respectively are inscribed in PQR such that the sum of d1 and d2 is equal to 10cm. By
using various values of d1 and corresponding values of d2, I determine the relation between

From the Table 1 we know that the length of arc PQR is not affected by the different in d1 and d2
in PAB and BCR respectively. The relation between the length of arcs PQR , PAB and BCR is that
the length of arc PQR is equal to the sum of the length of arcs PAB and BCR, which is we can get

-Conclusion-
From this project work I learn that circle is really useful to our daily life, it not just useful
it also make our daily work easier and simple.
Other than that, I also learn how to work together with my friend like Amirul, Azwan,
Hasri, Amir and Fauzan. Lastly the thing that I learn is pi can be use in many subject and work.
