Substitute the radius.
The answer is:
Example Question #24 : Geometry
Determine the area of a circle with a diameter of .
Write the formula for the area of a circle.
The radius is half the diameter, .
Substitute the radius into the equation.
The answer is:
Example Question #1 : Perimeter
Refer to the above figure. Quadrilateral is a square. What is the perimeter of Polygon ?
is both one side of Square and the hypotenuse of ; its hypotenuse can be calculated from the lengths of the legs using the Pythagorean Theorem:
.
Since Square has four congruent sides, each side has length 13.
The perimeter of Polygon is
Example Question #2 : Perimeter
Note: Figure NOT drawn to scale
Refer to the above figure, which shows a rectangular garden (in green) surrounded by a dirt path (in orange) seven feet wide throughout. What is the perimeter of the garden?
The inner rectangle, which represents the garden, has length and width feet and feet, respectively, so its perimeter is
feet.
Example Question #3 : Perimeter
Refer to the above figure, which shows a square garden (in green) surrounded by a dirt path (in orange). The dirt path is seven feet wide throughout. Which of the following polynomials gives the perimeter of the garden in feet?
The sidelength of the garden, in feet, is feet less than that of the entire lot, or
;
The perimeter, in feet, of the garden is four times this:
Example Question #22 : Geometry
You have a pentagonal-shaped lot with side lengths of 120ft ,30ft, 55ft, 60ft, and a longest side which is triple the length of the third longest side. What is the perimeter around the lot?
You have a pentagonal-shaped lot with side lengths of 120ft,30ft, 55ft, 60 ft, and a longest side which is triple the length of the third longest side. What is the perimeter around the lot?
So, we have a five-sided lot and are given 4 sides, and the means to find the 5th.
The longest side is triple the length of the third longest side:
The third longest side is 60 feet, therefore, the longest side is 180 ft
Find the perimeter by adding up all the sides:
So our answer is 445 feet
Example Question #2 : Perimeter
Find the circumference of a circle with diameter of 15.
The circumference of a circle is denoted by the formula where r is the radius of the circle. The problem gives us the diameter of the circle which must be used to find the radius.
Plug the radius into the formula for the area of a circle
Example Question #23 : Geometry
If the sides of a triangle are , , and , what is the perimeter?
The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all three sides of the triangle.
Add all the side lengths.
Expand the terms in the bracket and remove all parentheses.
Combine like-terms.
