Area of a Circle

Question 7 • *Integrated Math II Full

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

Answer
A
He should multiply the diameter times 2 and then multiply the result by 3.14.
B
He should multiply the radius times 2 and then multiply the result by 3.14.
C
He should square the diameter and then multiply the result by 3.14.
D
He should square the radius and then multiply the result by 3.14.

Explanation

The circumference of a circle is found using C = 2πr, or equivalently, diameter × π. Since π is about 3.14 and the radius is half the diameter, Geoffrey should multiply the radius by 2 and then multiply by 3.14. Squaring a measurement is used in the area formula, not the circumference formula.
