Example Question #60 : How To Find Circumference

The circle and the rectangle share a center, . Find the circumference of the circle.

Possible Answers:

$3\sqrt{7}\pi$

$4\sqrt{5}\pi$

$10\sqrt{3}\pi$

$2\sqrt{10}\pi$

Correct answer:

$4\sqrt{5}\pi$

Explanation:

Notice that the diagonal of the rectangle is also the diameter of the circle.

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the diagonal.

$\text{length}^2+\text{width}^2=\text{diagonal}^2$

$\text{diagonal}=\sqrt{\text{length}^2+\text{width}^2}$

Substitute in the values of the length and the width to find the length of the diagonal.

$\text{diagonal}=\sqrt{4^2+8^2}$

Simplify.

$\text{diagonal}=\sqrt{80}$

Reduce.

$\text{diagonal}=4\sqrt{5}$

Now, recall the relationship between the diagonal and the diameter.

$\text{diagonal}=\text{diameter}=4\sqrt{5}$

Recall how to find the circumference of a circle:

$\text{Circumference}=\text{diameter}\times\pi$

Substitute in the value of the diameter to find the circumference.

$\text{Circumference}=4\sqrt{5}\pi$

Example Question #251 : Plane Geometry

The rectangle and the circle share the same center, . Find the circumference of the circle.

Possible Answers:

$3\sqrt{10}\pi$

$4\sqrt{10}\pi$

$6\sqrt{10}\pi$

$5\sqrt{10}\pi$

Correct answer:

$4\sqrt{10}\pi$

Explanation:

Notice that the diagonal of the rectangle is also the diameter of the circle.

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the diagonal.

$\text{length}^2+\text{width}^2=\text{diagonal}^2$

$\text{diagonal}=\sqrt{\text{length}^2+\text{width}^2}$

Substitute in the values of the length and the width to find the length of the diagonal.

$\text{diagonal}=\sqrt{4^2+12^2}$

Simplify.

$\text{diagonal}=\sqrt{160}$

Reduce.

$\text{diagonal}=4\sqrt{10}$

Now, recall the relationship between the diagonal and the diameter.

$\text{diagonal}=\text{diameter}=4\sqrt{10}$

Recall how to find the circumference of a circle:

$\text{Circumference}=\text{diameter}\times\pi$

Substitute in the value of the diameter to find the circumference.

$\text{Circumference}=4\sqrt{10}\pi$

Possible Answers:

$4\sqrt{19}\pi$

$4\sqrt{17}\pi$

$4\sqrt{15}\pi$

$4\sqrt{14}\pi$

Correct answer:

$4\sqrt{17}\pi$

Explanation:

Notice that the diagonal of the rectangle is also the diameter of the circle.

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the diagonal.

$\text{length}^2+\text{width}^2=\text{diagonal}^2$

$\text{diagonal}=\sqrt{\text{length}^2+\text{width}^2}$

Substitute in the values of the length and the width to find the length of the diagonal.

$\text{diagonal}=\sqrt{4^2+16^2}$

Simplify.

$\text{diagonal}=\sqrt{272}$

Reduce.

$\text{diagonal}=4\sqrt{17}$

Now, recall the relationship between the diagonal and the diameter.

$\text{diagonal}=\text{diameter}=4\sqrt{17}$

Recall how to find the circumference of a circle:

$\text{Circumference}=\text{diameter}\times\pi$

Substitute in the value of the diameter to find the circumference.

$\text{Circumference}=4\sqrt{17}\pi$

Example Question #251 : Basic Geometry

Find the circumference of a circle given radius .

Possible Answers:

$8x\pi$

$4x\pi$

Correct answer:

$8x\pi$

Explanation:

To solve, simply use the formula for circumference. Thus,

$C=2\pi{r}=2*\pi*4x=8x\pi$
