The circumference of a circle is given by the formula below:
C = (pi)d = 2(pi)r
d = diameter; r = radius
For the first circle, you have its diameter, so use C = (pi)d
For the second circle, you have its radius, so use C = 2(pi)r
OpenStudy (jim766):
in the first one what is the diameter?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4.5

OpenStudy (jim766):
now use the formula @mathstudent55 gave you
c = π d just put in the diameter, leave the pi alone
OpenStudy (jim766):
what do you get?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what is the d?
OpenStudy (jim766):
d is diameter
OpenStudy (jim766):
you told me the diameter was 4.5

is it?
OpenStudy (jim766):
yes, it is, just substitute it in the equation c = πd
OpenStudy (jim766):
ok, this is what I mean... c = pi(4.5) done that is the answer
OpenStudy (jim766):
now in the 2nd one the give you radis, which is only half of a diameter, right?
OpenStudy (jim766):
so this time we need to use C = 2(r) pi what is the radis?

I'm not getting the correct answer for the first one
OpenStudy (jim766):
what are you getting?
OpenStudy (jim766):
how do you know it is not correct?
OpenStudy (mathstudent55):
c = 4.5(pi) is the same as c = (pi)4.5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got the wrong answr

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
it said 4.5pi was wrong?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
anyways, for the second one, the radius is 20, so the diameter is 2*20 = 40
making the circumference to be d*pi = 40pi
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got 9.13 for the first one,,

it should be 4.5pi for the first one since 4.5 is the diameter
