The word "circle" derives from the Greek, kirkos coming from
the verb to turn or bend. The circle has been known since
before the beginning of recorded history. Natural circles
would have been observed, such as the Moon, Sun, and a short
plant stalk blowing in the wind on sand, which forms a circle
shape in the sand. The circle is the basis for the wheel, which,
with related inventions such as gears, makes much of modern
civilisation possible. In mathematics, the study of the circle
has helped inspire the development of geometry, astronomy,
and calculus.
With your piece of string and a ruler, measure the Circumference and Diameter of each
circular object you have got. Make sure you are as accurate as possible. Record your
measurements in the table below.
Try to find a relationship between the Circumference and Diameter of each circular object.
Conclusion
This number has been represented by the Greek letter "" since the mid-18th century and
now you can also find a button on your calculator.
From your investigation we can conclude that that the Circumference of a Circle can be
found by using one of these two formulae:
C = d or C = 2r

With the radius of your compass
P a bit larger than half this line,
draw two arcs from A, one
above and one below line AB.
With the same radius, draw two
other arcs from point B.
The two pairs of arcs cut each

Join PQ. PQ is the Perpendicular
bisector, because it divides line
AB from the middle at 90.
