Example Question #1 : Know And Use The Formulas For The Area And Circumference Of A Circle: Ccss.Math.Content.7.G.B.4

The area of a circle is \(\displaystyle 25t^2\). Give the circumference  of the circle in terms of \(\displaystyle t\).

Let \(\displaystyle \pi=3.14\).

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 15t\)

\(\displaystyle 20t^2\)

\(\displaystyle 17.71t\)

\(\displaystyle 20t\)

\(\displaystyle 17.71 t^2\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 17.71t\)

Explanation:

The area of a circle can be calculated as \(\displaystyle Area=\pi r^2\), where \(\displaystyle r\)  is the radius of the circle. 

\(\displaystyle Area=\pi r^2\Rightarrow 25t^2=\pi r^2\Rightarrow r^2=\frac{25t^2}{\pi}\)

\(\displaystyle \Rightarrow r=\frac{5t}{\sqrt{\pi}}=\frac{5t}{\sqrt{3.14}}\approx 2.82t\)

The circumference can be calculated as \(\displaystyle Circumference =2\pi r\), where \(\displaystyle r\) is the radius of the circle.

\(\displaystyle Circumference =2\pi r\Rightarrow Circumference =2\times 3.14\times 2.82t=17.71t\)

 

 

 

Example Question #2 : Perimeter

The perimeter of a given rectangle is equal to the circumference of a given circle. The circle has radius \(\displaystyle 30\) inches; the width of the rectangle is \(\displaystyle 8 \pi\) inches. What is the length of the rectangle?

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle (30 - 8 \pi )\) inches

\(\displaystyle 7\pi\) inches

\(\displaystyle 44 \pi\) inches

\(\displaystyle 14 \pi\) inches

\(\displaystyle 22 \pi\) inches

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 22 \pi\) inches

Explanation:

The circumference of a circle with radius \(\displaystyle 30\) inches is 

\(\displaystyle C = 2 \pi r = 2 \pi \cdot 30 = 60 \pi\) inches.

The perimeter of the rectangle is therefore \(\displaystyle 60 \pi\) inches. To find its length, substitute \(\displaystyle W = 8\pi\) and \(\displaystyle P = 60\pi\) into the equation and solve for \(\displaystyle L\):

\(\displaystyle 2 L + 2W = P\)

\(\displaystyle 2 L + 2 \cdot 8 \pi = 60 \pi\)

\(\displaystyle 2 L + 16 \pi = 60 \pi\)

\(\displaystyle 2 L + 16 \pi - 16 \pi = 60 \pi - 16 \pi\)

\(\displaystyle 2 L =44 \pi\)

\(\displaystyle 2 L \div 2=44 \pi \div 2\)

\(\displaystyle L = 22\pi\) inches
