October 1, 2017 - Math Circle 2.0

Homework Review

Using the supplied cup, measure the circumference of the cup.  Next, draw a square that inscribes the circle.  Is the perimeter of the square greater than the circumference of the circle?


Circumference of the circle

Use a string to mesasure the circumference of a set of circles.  Compare the diameter of the circles to the circumference.  In all cases, the circumference of the circle is a little over 3 times the diameter of the circle.  The number that expresses the ratio of diameter to circumference is represented by the greek letter pi.
