Example Question #71 : How To Find Circumference

Given that the radius of a circle is 20m , solve for the circumference.

Possible Answers:

125.7 m

123.4 m

103.5 m

72.6 m

40 m

Correct answer:

125.7 m

Explanation:

The circumference of a circle is found by using the following formula:

$C=2 (\pi) (r)$ Plug in the radius from the given information, and you get this:

$C = 2 \pi (20)$

C = 125.7 m

Example Question #261 : Radius

Find the circumference of a circle given the radius is 3.

Possible Answers:

$9\pi$

$18\pi$

$6\pi$

$12\pi$

Correct answer:

$6\pi$

Explanation:

To solve, simply use the formula for the circumference of a circle.

Given that the radius is 3, substitute 3 in for the r in the circumference formula below.

Thus,

$\\C=2\pi{r}\\C=2*\pi*3\\C=6\pi$ .

Example Question #76 : How To Find Circumference

Find the circumference of the circle if the lengths of the legs of the inscribed isosceles triangle are $2\sqrt2$ .

Possible Answers:

$12\pi$

$16\pi$

$8\pi$

$4\pi$

Correct answer:

$4\pi$

Explanation:

Notice that the hypotenuse of the triangle in the figure is also the diameter of the circle.

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

$\text{Hypotenuse}^2=\text{leg}^2+\text{leg}^2$

$\text{Hypotenuse}^2=2(\text{leg}^2)$

$\text{Hypotenuse}=\sqrt{2(\text{leg}^2)}=\text{leg}\sqrt2$

Substitute in the length of triangle’s legs to find the missing length of the hypotenuse.

$\text{Hypotenuse}=2\sqrt2(\sqrt2)$

Simplify.

$\text{Hypotenuse}=4$

Now, recall that the hypotenuse of the triangle and the diameter of the circle are the same:

$\text{Hypotenuse}=\text{Diameter}=4$

Now, recall how to find the circumference of a circle:

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

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

$\text{Circumference}=4\pi$

Example Question #77 : How To Find Circumference

Find the circumference of the circle if the lengths of the legs of the inscribed isosceles triangle are $3\sqrt2$ .

Possible Answers:

$6\pi$

$18\pi$

$12\pi$

$3\pi$

Correct answer:

$6\pi$

Explanation:

Notice that the hypotenuse of the triangle in the figure is also the diameter of the circle.

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

$\text{Hypotenuse}^2=\text{leg}^2+\text{leg}^2$

$\text{Hypotenuse}^2=2(\text{leg}^2)$

$\text{Hypotenuse}=\sqrt{2(\text{leg}^2)}=\text{leg}\sqrt2$

Substitute in the length of triangle’s legs to find the missing length of the hypotenuse.

$\text{Hypotenuse}=3\sqrt2(\sqrt2)$

Simplify.

$\text{Hypotenuse}=6$

Now, recall that the hypotenuse of the triangle and the diameter of the circle are the same:

$\text{Hypotenuse}=\text{Diameter}=6$

Now, recall how to find the circumference of a circle:

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

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

$\text{Circumference}=6\pi$

Example Question #271 : Radius

Find the circumference of the circle if the lengths of the legs of the inscribed isosceles triangle are $4\sqrt2$ .

Possible Answers:

$8\pi$

$4\pi$

$16\pi$

$12\pi$

Correct answer:

$8\pi$

Explanation:

Notice that the hypotenuse of the triangle in the figure is also the diameter of the circle.

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

$\text{Hypotenuse}^2=\text{leg}^2+\text{leg}^2$

$\text{Hypotenuse}^2=2(\text{leg}^2)$

$\text{Hypotenuse}=\sqrt{2(\text{leg}^2)}=\text{leg}\sqrt2$

Substitute in the length of triangle’s legs to find the missing length of the hypotenuse.

$\text{Hypotenuse}=4\sqrt2(\sqrt2)$

Simplify.

$\text{Hypotenuse}=8$

Now, recall that the hypotenuse of the triangle and the diameter of the circle are the same:

$\text{Hypotenuse}=\text{Diameter}=8$

Now, recall how to find the circumference of a circle:

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

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

$\text{Circumference}=8\pi$
