How to reach the area and circumference of a circle in GeoGebra can be done in several ways.
Construct the circle first
- Construct the first circle using. eg 'circle out from the center and point'--button.
- Press 2 places on the drawing pad.
- Thus you have now 1 circle on the drawing pad, which is made from 2 points A and B.
Method #1 – Input field
Area
- In the input field, start typing area …
- Now select the area[ <Polygon> ]
- Pressure circle name / letter
Area[c]
- Press Enter on your keyboard.
- In Algebra window is now through variable a, what area is.
Circumference
- In the input field, start typing circumference…
- Now select the Circumference[ <Conic> ]
- Pressure circle name / letter
Circumference[c]
- Press Enter on your keyboard.
- In Algebra window is now through the variable b, what is the circumference.
Method #2 – Toolbar
Area
- Select the tool area--button.
- Press the circle periphery.
- Now the area of the circle on the drawing pad.
Circumference
- Select the tool length--button.
- Press the circle periphery.
- Now the circumference of the circle on the drawing pad.
Test
Now try to pull the point A or point B. Notice, what happens to the circle area and perimeter.
