Which circles have a circumference of units? Choose all answers that are correct. A. a circle with a diameter of 40 units B. a circle with a radius of 10 units C. a circle with a diameter of 20 units D. a circle with a radius of 20 units Im think A C and D but i really don't know this one

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

im looking at pics of a circumference and now i think its B

geerky42 (geerky42):

"Which circles have a circumference of units" how much units?

geerky42 (geerky42):

well idk because there is no picture for me to see

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

there is no picture...

Your question is missing something.

OpenStudy (unknownunknown):

Gabby you'll need to be more specifi with the question. @geerky42 could you help me please?

geerky42 (geerky42):

Which circles have a circumference of __?__ units

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

well thats all it says ill take a screenshot

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

@geerky42

OpenStudy (unknownunknown):

Gabby you missed the Pi there, that's very important =)

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

oh

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

ooooooooh

OpenStudy (unknownunknown):

So circumference = 2*radius * pi. And diameter = 2 * radius. So circumference also = diameter * pi Can you solve it now?

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

so 4pi

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

?

OpenStudy (unknownunknown):

So let's look at (a). If d = 40. What is d * pi? Does that equal 20 * pi?

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

no

OpenStudy (unknownunknown):

Very good. Can you do the same for (b) now?

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

b is not correct either so now its just C and D

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

I think D

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

because it needs a radius

OpenStudy (unknownunknown):

b is correct. let's go through it carefully. Remember, diameter is radius * 2. So you must multiply that 10 by 2.

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

oooooh i see what you're going at

OpenStudy (unknownunknown):

diameter can be converted to radius (d = 2*r). Also, radius can be converted to diameter (r = d/2)

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

Okay, I get it now. Thank you! √

OpenStudy (unknownunknown):

No problem! Good luck =)

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

It was B and C. Thanks for your help though. :)

OpenStudy (unknownunknown):

yep, that's right.
