Page 234 - The circumferences of two circles have the same ratio to each other as their radii, or as their diameters. Thus, if the radius of a circle be doubled, the circumference will also be doubled ; or, if the diameter be trebled, the circumference will also be trebled ; and so on. It follows that the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter is the same for all circles.

Page 214 - Plane is a surface upon which straight lines can be drawn ia all directions. The surface of still water is a good example of a plane surface. A Plane Figure is a portion of a plane surface bounded by lines. The Area of a plane figure is the ratio of its magnitude to that of another plane figure assumed as the unit. For the units of area, see page 79. The unit most commonly used is the square foot. A Quadrilateral is a plane figure bounded by four straight lines. For example, A BCD is a quadrilateral...
