Question 22 • Grade 7 Mathematics

A circle has a diameter of 4 inches. Which statement about the area and circumference of the circle is true?

Answer
A
A comparison of the area and circumference of the circle is not possible because there is not enough information to find both.
B
The numerical value of the circumference is less than the numerical value of the area.
C
The numerical values of the circumference and area are equal.
D
The numerical value of the circumference is greater than the numerical value of the area.

Explanation

The radius is half the 4-inch diameter, so it is 2 inches. The area is π(2)² = 4π square inches, and the circumference is π(4) = 4π inches. Their numerical values are equal, even though the measurements use different units, so the true statement is that the numerical values of the circumference and area are equal.
