Find the ratio of the diameter to the circumference in a circle with radius r.

Tap to see back →

To find a ratio, simply divide your two quantities. Remember,

$C=2\pi{r}$

Thus,

$ratio=\frac{D}{C}$=\frac{2r}{2\pi{r}$}=\frac{1}{\pi}$$

Two legs of a right triangle measure 3 and 4, respectively. What is the area of the circle that circumscribes the triangle?

For the circle to contain all 3 vertices, the hypotenuse must be the diameter of the circle. The hypotenuse, and therefore the diameter, is 5, since this must be a 3-4-5 right triangle.

The equation for the area of a circle is A = πr2.

$A=\pi $(5/2)^2$=6.25\pi$

The perimeter of a circle is 36 π. What is the diameter of the circle?

The perimeter of a circle = 2 πr = πd

Therefore d = 36

A circle has a radius of 7 inches. What is the diameter of the circle?

The diameter of a circle can be written as , where is the radius and is the diameter.

Therefore the diameter of the circle is 14 inches.

If the area of a circle is $9\pi$ , what is its diameter?

Tap to see back →

Before we can find the diameter of this circle, we need to find its radius. We need to use the formula for the area of a cirlce:

$A=\pi $r^2$$

Given that the area is $9\pi$ , we can find the radius

$9\pi=\pi $r^2$$

cancel the pi and then square root it to find 'r'.

Now that the radius is found, we can find the diamater by multiplying it by 2.

The area of a circle is $9\pi ; $in^{2}$$ . What is its diameter?

First solve for the radius:

$A=\pi $r^{2}$ = 9\pi$

Note that , where is the radius and is the diameter.

Therefore, .

A circle has an area of $60\pi$ . What is the circle's diameter?

Tap to see back →

The area of a circle is given by the equation $A = \pi $r^2$$ , where is the area and is the radius. Use the given area in this equation and solve for to find the circle's radius.

$60\pi = \pi $r^2$$

$\frac{(60\pi)}{\pi}$ = $\frac{(\pi $r^2$)}{\pi}$

$\sqrt{60}$ = $$\sqrt{r^2$}$

$r = $\sqrt{60}$ = 2$\sqrt{15}$$

To find the circle's diameter, multiply its radius by .

$2$\sqrt{15}$ * 2 = 4$\sqrt{15}$$

Two circles have only one point in common. Both circles have radii of . If point is on the first circle and point is on the second circle, what is longest possible distance of line ?

Tap to see back →

The first step is to sketch two circles touching at a single point. In order to maximize the length of , the point and the point would need to be on opposite ends, as shown in the diagram. If the radius of a circle is , then the diameter would be . Therefore, the length of would be .
