Example Question #26 : Area Of A Circle

What is the area of the circle provided? 


12

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we need to recall the formula for the area of a circle: 

The circle in this question provides us with the diameter, so we first have to solve for the radius. Remember, the radius is half the diameter:

Now that we have the radius we can use the formula to solve:

Solve:

Example Question #1 : Circumference Of A Circle

The circumference can be solved using the following equation:

Where  represents the radius. Therefore, when we substitute our radius in we get:

Example Question #2 : Circumference Of A Circle

If this circle has a diameter of 12 inches, what is its circumference?

Circle_12d

Possible Answers:

none of these

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Know that the formula for circumference is , where C is the circumference and D is the diameter.  It is given that the diameter is 12 inches.  Therefore, the circumference is 

Example Question #1 : Circumference Of A Circle

If a circle has an area of , what is the circumference of the circle?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The formula for  the area of a circle is πr2. For this particular circle, the area is 81π, so 81π = πr2. Divide both sides by π and we are left with r2=81. Take the square root of both sides to find r=9. The formula for the circumference of the circle is 2πr = 2π(9) = 18π. The correct answer is 18π.

Example Question #2 : Circumference Of A Circle

If a circle has an area of , what is the circumference?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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:
