Area of a circle trigonometry, uses the coarea formula. Define a function formula_10 by formula_11. Note ρ is a Lipschitz function whose gradient is a unit vector formula_12 (almost everywhere). Let "D" be the disc formula_13 in formula_14. We will show that formula_15, where formula_16 is the two-dimensional Lebesgue measure in formula_14. We shall assume that the one-dimensional Hausdorff measure of the circle formula_18 is formula_19, the circumference of the circle of radius "r". (This can be taken as the definition of circumference.) Then, by the coarea formula, Similar to the onion proof outlined above, we could exploit calculus in a different way in
Circumference length of the edge. The circumference of a circle is the distance around it, but if, as in many elementary treatments, distance is defined in terms of straight lines, this can not be used as a definition. Under these circumstances, the circumference of a circle may be defined as the limit of the perimeters of inscribed regular polygons as the number of sides increases without bound. The term circumference is used when measuring physical objects, as well as when considering abstract geometric forms. The circumference of a circle is related to one of the most important mathematical constants. This constant,
