@sagor122 Pi is defined as the circumference divided by the diameter. The diameter is two times the radius.
therefore: C = 2πr

There's a simpler explanation. The area of a regular polygon is 1/2 apothem * perimeter.
Think of a circle as a polygon with an infinite number of sides. Perimeter = circumference. C = 2πr. The apothem = r. area = 1/2 2πr *r
simplified:
area = πr^2
If you don't understand the area formula for a regular polygon read this:
Any regular n-gon can be broken into n triangles with the apothem as their height. The base of the triangles is the perimeter, so you end up with 1/2 aP.

awesome i love pi
-
Ms.Kronish showed you this video didn't she? I know she did
-
Why is the base 1/2 the circumference?
-
WOW
-
i want to know why circumference = 2.pie.r,,,,,,,,,ty

nice

great man
u solved my project of maths !!
thanzz a lot

Cool thank you
Excellent job. I use to have to show my middle-schoolers this with unit pieces that I made. Now, all I have to do is show your video. It's a sign of the times.
Thanks!!!!!
