GUATEMALA CITY - Torrential rains brought by the first tropical storm of the 2010 season pounded Central America and southern Mexico, triggering deadly landslides. The death toll stood at 15 Sunday but authorities said the number could rise.
Archimedes proved the formula for the area of a circle (A = Ï r 2, where r is the radius of the circle) and showed that the value of Ï lay between 3 + 1/7 (approximately 3.1429) and 3 + 10/71 (approximately 3.1408).
Circle is the locus of points equidistant from a given point, the center of the circle. The common distance from the center of the circle to its points is called radius. Thus a circle is completely defined by its center (O) and radius (R): C(O, R) = O(R) = {x: dist(O, x) = R}.
