OpenStudy (anonymous):

If the diameter of the circle above is 18 in, what is the circumference of the circle? A.18 in B.81 in C.9 in D.36 in

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

\[c=2\pi~r^2\]

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

your diameter is \[18\] we need the radius so we will divide by 2 whats 18/2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is suppose to be a pi sign behind every number

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

yeah i gave you the formula :) whats 18/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So its A

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

no we need to solve this still

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it A?

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

18/2 is 9 then plug it in the equation what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont know I just started learning these and its hard

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

Half of a diameter = radius

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

got that so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

\[C=2\pi~r^2\] that is the formula we use when finding the circumference understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ya

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

ok so we said half of a diameter=radius so we have a diameter which is 18 so to find the radius we divide by 2 \[18\div2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which equals 9 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So its C

OpenStudy (kidrah69):

C is right :)
