So, what is the formula for area of a circle?

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

sorry, formula for circumference?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 * pi * radius right?

OpenStudy (p0sitr0n):

PB=radius, C=2*pi*radius=2pi29

sammixboo (sammixboo):

\(\rm \large Formula ~for~ Circumference ~of~ a ~Circle\) C = 2pi*r r = radius = 29 So now we have C = 2*3.14*29

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Right. So if the radius is given to be 29, what is the circumference?

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

That is correct @lily1021 ! Good job, so can you find the radius here?

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Yes, so what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is 182.12 then?

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Correct!

sammixboo (sammixboo):

C = 182.12

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

well, you said you have to express your answer in terms of pi, so no @lily1021, go back a step

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

\(\large C=2\pi r\rightarrow 2\pi(29)\rightarrow 58\pi\)

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Ah I forgot about that :( Oops!

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

when you substitute in your radius value, what do you get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The radius is 29 .

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

ok, so if you put 29 into your formula for circumference, what do you get?

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

(You don't need a calculator here)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I do 2pi *29 which gives me 58pi?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

right ^

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

that is correct, because multiplication is commutative so you are able to rearrange it to 2*29*pi :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hold on I'm not really understanding how that changes to 58.

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

ok, so, what is 2*29=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh I see okay I see. I was adding the pi in it as was just getting the original answer I had. Alright thanks. :)

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

ahh ok, np :) happy you wanted to understand not just get an answer. Keep up the good learning!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks for going through it with me. I appreciate it :)
