Suppose the diameter of a circle is 9. What is its circumference?
If you could give the answer in terms of pi that'd be great.
Well we must first find the radius of the circle. The radius is half of the diameter, so our radios os 4.5 r = 4.5 Formula to find the Circumference: \(2\pi*4.5\)
\(C~=~2\pi*4.5\)
circumference equals pi times the diameter.
Do you know what to do next? And the circumference equals pi times the radius, not the diameter
circumference is 28.26
Thanks. Could you help me with a few more?
Just multiply 4.5 by 2, so what is 4.5 x 2?
9pi, I know.
\(C~=~9\pi\) Or \(C~=~9*3.14\)
Can you help me with a few more please?
Sure I can try :)
I might take a bit to answer here and there.. I am doing a test right now :(
Suppose the circumference of a circle is 15π. What is its diameter?
Those question marks are supposed to be pi. |:(
I don't know, it's not multiple choice and gives practically no info on how to answer.
C = 2pi*r 47.1 = 6.28*r Now we must find the raduis to find the diameter. To do so we must divide 6.28 on both sides of the equation. 47.1/6.28 = 6.28*r/6.28 47.1/6.28 = r What is 47.1/6.28?
15pi = 47.1, sorry I completely skipped a step >_< And 2*pi = 6.28
After you find out what is 47.1/6.28 you multiply the answer by 2, since the radius is half of the diameter, and that is your answer
Thanks, you've just helped me a lot. :D
