Geometry and Measurement Unit (Student Packet) GEO2 – SP3
A LITTLE HISTORY Many civilizations over the centuries have observed that the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle is constant. For example, the Romans observed that the number of paces around the outer portion of their circular temples was about three times the number of paces through the center. In mathematics, the Greek letter π (pronounced “pi”) is used to represent this ratio. There is no fraction of integers that represents the exact ratio of the circumference to the diameter, or π . Here are some approximations used by different civilizations over the ages.
Fraction used as approximation for π Decimal approximation for π (to the nearest ten-thousandth)
1. Egyptian: 25681
2. Greek: between 227
and 22371
3. Hindu: 3,9271,250
4. Roman: 377120
5. Chinese: 355113
6. Babylonian: 258
Today, the decimal approximation of π , correct to five decimal places, is
3.14159 7. Write this decimal approximation in words. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 8. Round this decimal approximation to the nearest ten-thousandth. ____________________ 9. Which civilization had the best approximation for π? ______________________________

APPROXIMATING VALUES FOR π
There is no fraction of integers that represents the exact value of π . When solving algebra problems that involve π , it is typical to keep the symbol in the problem and solution. However, in real-life calculations, it is often necessary to approximate an answer that involves π . Compute two numerical approximations for each measurement that represents the circumference of a circle. (Hint: use your number sense to decide which approximations to compute.)

DERIVING THE AREA OF A CIRCLE
1. What is the formula for the circumference of a circle in terms of its radius r? __________________________________________________________________ 2. Your teacher will give you a paper circle. Fold the circle in half. Fold it in half a second time.
Fold it in half a third time. 3. Unfold your circle and cut along the folds to make 8 wedges. (You may want to try more
than 8 wedges, like 16, but don’t do less than 8.) 4. Arrange the wedges in a row. Alternate the tips up and down to form a shape that
resembles a rectangle or parallelogram. Tape, glue stick, or sketch the shape here. Use your knowledge of the area of a rectangle and circumference of a circle to find the area of this shape. (Remember, it began as a circle and is becoming closer to resembling a rectangle. The more wedges you make, the closer it gets to becoming a rectangle.) 5. The width of the “rectangle” is _________________________________ of the circle.
6. The length of the “rectangle” is ________________________________ of the circle. 7. Write an equation for the approximate area of the “rectangle.” __________________________________________________________________ 8.

THE GRADUATION CELEBRATION
You are planning a graduation celebration for 75 students in your class. The room for the party has dimensions of 60 feet by 90 feet. You will construct a stage in the shape of a trapezoid with parallel edges that are 10 feet and 20 feet. The depth of the stage will be 15 feet. You want to put circular tables with diameters of 10 feet around the room, and you need to leave space for chairs and for people to walk around. Each table can seat up to 9 people. You also want to have a big square dance floor. 1. Use the dot paper on the next page to make a scale drawing of the room, and lay out
where you will put the stage, dance floor, and tables. Label everything, and indicate how many people will sit at each table. (Hint: You may want to make a rough sketch of the room on dot or grid paper, and then transfer it onto this packet.)
2. What is the area of the stage? 3. How many tables do you need? What is the area of the space taken up by the tables? 4. What are the dimensions of your dance floor?
