Find the circumference and area of a circle in terms of pi. Will medal and fan for help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d = 15m

OpenStudy (dani_rose):

Is there a pic?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope, that is all the information i have.

OpenStudy (dani_rose):

ok well the formula for a circle is C=2πr

OpenStudy (dani_rose):

But since its diameter you just divide the diameter

OpenStudy (dani_rose):

so it would be C=2π7.5

OpenStudy (dani_rose):

Which equals 47.1

OpenStudy (dani_rose):

That should be your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am confused... where did you get the radius?

OpenStudy (dani_rose):

The radius is half of the diameter

OpenStudy (dani_rose):

\[7.5\times2=15\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and shouldn't the equation be \[C=\pi*d\]

OpenStudy (dani_rose):

When you just have the diameter you just divide it by 2 to get the radius

OpenStudy (dani_rose):

Nope the formula Is C=2πr

OpenStudy (dani_rose):

The radius is half of the diameter

OpenStudy (dani_rose):

Your problem gave us the diameter so to find the radius we needed to divide the diameter by 2

OpenStudy (dani_rose):

Giving us 7.5 since the diameter is 15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay...

OpenStudy (dani_rose):

Are you still confused?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah... but math is always confusing

OpenStudy (dani_rose):

lol i can break it down further
