Example Question #201 : Basic Geometry
A car tire has a radius of 18 inches. When the tire has made 200 revolutions, how far has the car gone in feet?
600π
500π
300π
3600π
600π
If the radius is 18 inches, the diameter is 3 feet. The circumference of the tire is therefore 3π by C=d(π). After 200 revolutions, the tire and car have gone 3π x 200 = 600π feet.
Example Question #51 : Plane Geometry
A circle has the equation below. What is the circumference of the circle?
(x – 2)2 + (y + 3)2 = 9
The radius is 3. Yielding a circumference of .
Example Question #1 : Circumference Of A Circle
If a circle has an area of , what is the circumference?
For a circle, the formula for area is and the formula for circumference is , where is the radius and is the diameter.
Plug the known quantities into the area formula and solve for the radius:
Now plug this value into the circumference formula to solve:
