49. Metric ratios on the circumference

Página 49

In mathematics, one of the most important topics that can be addressed in ENEM is the study of '49. Metric Relations on Circumference'. This topic is a crucial part of geometry, a subdiscipline of mathematics that deals with shapes and sizes. In this study, we will explore in depth the metric relationships on the circumference and how they are applied.

To begin with, it's important to understand what a circumference is. In simple terms, a circle is the set of all points in a plane that are a certain distance (the radius) from a fixed point (the center). This definition leads us to some important metric relationships that are fundamental to understanding the geometry of the circle.

The first metric relationship we can observe is the relationship between the diameter and the radius of a circle. The diameter of a circle is simply twice the radius. This can be expressed mathematically as D = 2r, where D is the diameter and r is the radius.

The second metric ratio is the circumference of a circle, which is the distance around the circle. The circumference of a circle can be calculated using the formula C = 2πr, where C is the circumference and r is the radius. The constant π (pi) is a mathematical constant whose approximate value is 3.14.

Another important metric relationship in circumference is the area of ​​a circle. The area of ​​a circle can be calculated using the formula A = πr², where A is the area and r is the radius. This formula tells us that the area of ​​a circle is proportional to the square of its radius.

Now, let's discuss some more complex metric relationships involving the circumference. One such relationship is the relationship between the length of a chord (a line segment connecting two points on a circle) and the radius of the circle. If we draw a line from the center of the circle to the middle of the chord, we create a right triangle. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find a relationship between the length of the chord (c), the radius (r) and the distance from the center of the circle to the middle of the chord (d). This relationship can be expressed as c² = 4r² - 4d².

Another important metric relationship in the circumference is the relationship between the length of an arc (a part of the circle) and the radius of the circle. The length of an arc (s) is proportional to the angle (θ) it subtends at the center of the circle. This relationship can be expressed as s = rθ, where θ is measured in radians.

In summary, the metric relationships on the circle are fundamental to understanding the geometry of the circle. They allow us to calculate important quantities such as diameter, circumference, area, length of a chord, and length of an arc. These relationships are a crucial part of the ENEM math curriculum and are essential for solving many geometry problems on this test.
