Question 5 • Grade 7 Mathematics

Geoffrey needs to find the circumference of a circle. Which process should he use?

Answer
A
He should square the radius and then multiply the result by 3 point 1 4 .
B
He should multiply the diameter times 2 and then multiply the result by 3 point 1 4 .
C
He should square the diameter and then multiply the result by 3 point 1 4 .
D
He should multiply the radius times 2 and then multiply the result by 3 point 1 4 .

Explanation

The circumference of a circle is found with C = 2πr, where r is the radius. So Geoffrey should multiply the radius by 2, then multiply by 3.14. This is choice D. Squaring the radius or diameter is used in area calculations, not circumference.
