A unit circle is not normally called 2 pi. Because the radius length measure of the unit circle is 1 unit, then the circumference of a unit circle is 2*pi, and its area is pi.

How is pi in relation to a circle?

Pi is related to the area and the circumference of the circle. The area is Pi multiplied by the radius of the circle squared and the circumference is Pi times the diameter of the circle. if you're wondering how it works, pi is the area of a circle with radius of 1 (unit), and the circumference of a circle with a radius of ½ (unit).


How can the unit circle be used to apply trigonometric functions to all real numbers?

The basic idea is that a complete turn around the unit circle has a length of 2 x pi (i.e., approximately 6.28). For numbers larger than 2 x pi, you go that distance around the unit circle, moving around it more than once - and eventually end up on some point on the unit circle. For example, if you go a distance of 3 x pi around the unit circle, that is equivalent of a distance of pi (equal to 180 degrees). For negative numbers, you simply move around the unit circle in the opposite direction.


What s the formula for the area of a circle?

The formula for the area of a circle is πr2, or pi x radius^2 The radius of a circle is the diameter divided by two, and pi is approx. 3.1415926535


A line segment that connects the center of a circle to a point on the circle?

what about such a line segment? the length of such a segment is called the radius. the area of the circle is pi*the length of this segment squared the circumference is 2*pi*the length of this segment


Is the radius of a circle divided by the circumference of a circle pi?

No, the circumference of the circle divided by the diameter is pi.
