THE AREA OF A CIRCLE HOW TO DERIVE THE AREA OF CIRCLE FORMULA The formula for the area of a Parallelogram is BASE x HEIGHT(see diagram 3) step 1) Cut up the circle in sectors step 2) Arrange them in the shape of a parallelogram, the base is the circumference of the circle = II x r and the height is radius = r step 3) Calculate the area of the parallelogram (base x height) and that formula is the Area of a circle. step 4) Area of a Circle = pi x r x r (see, diagram 4)
