What is the area of a circle with a circumference of 16π?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm not exactly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 64 PI?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no is the area 64 Pi? to the question I posted first.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

You know the formula C=dπ, you know that d= 2r so C=2rπ Now, the C=16π so 16π=2rπ cancel the π s and devide by 2, t/f the r=4 Following so far?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

@BubblyRena1996, are you getting this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a little, math messes with me. BAD

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Ok will go step by step, OK?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

C= 16π right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Do you know the regular formula for the Circumference (or C) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rPI squared? I don't think that's it.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Nope, that's area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dang it. umm then no I don't.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

C=dπ

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

OK?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oooooh okay. how do I find D?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Do you know that d=2r ? is that correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I recall that yes.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Substitute 2r for d, into a regular Circumference formula.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

(which is C=dπ)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but what is R like I know it's radius but that wasn't in the question? and there was no picture telling me.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Hold on with that... just substitute 2r instead of d, into C=dπ

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Can you do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so C=2RPI?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Good!

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Now, you know that C=16π, so substitute 16π instead of C into C=2rπ. Correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mhmm so 16Pi = 2rPi

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Nice!

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

16π=2rπ correct? What do you do now? What do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find the radius?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yep, and what od you need to do (w/ this equation) to find it?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

What can you cancel out in 16π=2rπ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no idea. and I have to go ugh. hope 64 pi is right.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

For what? Area?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yes, but do you know how to get to it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, ill be on tomorrow to figure it out again.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

|dw:1382103203149:dw|

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

makes sense, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Area = π r^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cause you divide by 2 its like an equation

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yeeeep!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh okay I got cha

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

glad I helped!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you :)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

So you have no more questions about it, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

OK! Cool!
