can you recall the formula in finding area and circumference of a circle?
OpenStudy (cj49):
circumference= 2 pi r
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2 pi r
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can you show me the work leading to the answer?
OpenStudy (shinalcantara):
that's for circumference. for area, it's pi r squared. since you're given the area of the circle, substitute it to the formula for area. what you've got?

A is the ans
Area= pi x r^2
64= pi x r^2
r=8 pi
OpenStudy (shinalcantara):
what's the value of your 'r'?
OpenStudy (princeharryyy):
nice work @cj49
OpenStudy (cj49):
lol thnx mate @princeharryyy

A=(pi)*r^2
C=2(pi)r
since you're given the area to be 64 pi, then using the area formula, you'll get the value of r as 8.. substitute the value to the formula in finding circumference. then you'll have 2(pi)*8. therefore your circumference is 16 pi.
