Circle Geometry Functions

In this challenge we will create a library of functions to apply the different formulas based on the geometry of circles.

For each function, you will need to design the algorithm using either Pseudo-code or a flowchart, implement the function using the Python trinket provided below and use another algorithm to test your function.

CircumferenceAreaArcSector: PerimeterSector: AreaChordSegment: PerimeterSegment: Area
circle-circumference
Write a function called getCircumference() that takes one parameter/argument: the radius of a circle.

Your function should calculate and return the circumference (perimeter) of this circle..


Write an algorithm to test your function.

  • Ask the user to enter the length of the radius of a circle,
  • Use the getCircumference() function to retrieve the circumference of the circle,
  • Display the circumference of the circle
circle-area
