Your task is to draw a dot on your page and then to draw a circle around the dot without lifting your pen/pencil from the page (as illustrated below). Note: there is more than 1 way of doing this.
7. Find the approximate area of this circle by counting the number of squares it encloses.
Count the full squares enclosed:
Count the squares in which half or more is enclosed and add them: (For example, 2 half squares = 1 full square.) Add your answers together to get the approximate area:
8. Find the approximate area of these circles in the same way. a) b)
