Example Question #11 : How To Find The Circumference Of A Circle In Pre Algebra
What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of ?
To find the circumference of a circle given the radius, we must first know the equation for the circumference of a circle which is
We then plug in for the radius into the equation yielding
We multiply to find the value for the circumference is
The answer is .
Example Question #12 : How To Find The Circumference Of A Circle In Pre Algebra
Find the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 4 meters.

The formula for circumference is:
where is the radius of our circle
In this case, we were given the diameter of meters. Thus, we know that the radius is meters (since the diameter is twice the radius). Plugging this into the formula, we have:
meters.
Example Question #13 : How To Find The Circumference Of A Circle In Pre Algebra
What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of ?
The formula for the circumference of a circle is .
Plug in our given values and solve.
Example Question #671 : High School Math
What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of ?
To find the circumference of a circle, use the equation:
Substitute the given value for the radius into the equation:
Example Question #672 : High School Math
An ant is standing at the center of a perfectly circular plate. If the ant crawled in a straight line, he would have to crawl 6 inches to reach the edge of the plate. How many inches would he crawl if he crawled a full circle around the edge of the plate?
We need to find the circumference:
In this formula stands for the radius and stands for the diameter.
The distance the ant must crawl to the edge from the center is the radius of the circle.
Plug in 6 inches for :
Example Question #673 : High School Math
If a circle has a radius of meters, what is its circumference?
The formula for the circumference of a circle is , where is the diameter. This can also be written as , where is the radius of the circle. We were given the radius, so we take the second formula and plug in for .
Example Question #674 : High School Math
This figure is a rhombus with a side of 8 in.
What is the area of the rhombus (in2)?
Not enough information
Not enough information
In order to determine the area of a rhombus you either need a base and a height OR the length of the two diagonals OR the base and an angle. Because we are only given the base with no information about the height, there is not enough information to determine the area of the rhombus.
Example Question #2 : How To Find The Area Of A Rhombus
Find the area of the following rhombus:
The perimeter of the rhombus is .
The formula for the perimeter of a rhombus is:
Where is the length of the side
Plugging in our values, we get:
The formula for the area of a rhombus is:
Where is the length of one diagonal and is the length of another diagonal
By drawing the diagonals, we create a right triangle with the hypotenuse as and the side as .
Since we know that is a phythagorean triple, we can infer that the third side is .
Plugging in our values, we get:
Example Question #675 : High School Math
This figure is a rhombus with a side of 8 in.
What is the perimeter of the rhombus (in)?
The perimeter of the rhombus is the distance around the outside of the figure. Since a rhombus has 4 congruent sides, the perimeter is simply .
Example Question #5 : Rhombuses
You are given a rhombus with a side of meters. What is the perimeter of the rhombus?
meters
