Question 25 • Grade 7 Mathematics

A circle has a diameter of 3 meters. Which statement about the circumference and area is true?

Answer
A
A comparison of the area and circumference is not possible since the area cannot be determined.
B
The numerical value of the circumference is greater than the numerical value of the area.
C
The numerical value of the circumference is less than the numerical value of the area.
D
The numerical values of the circumference and area are equal.

Explanation

The circumference is π times the diameter, so C = 3π ≈ 9.42. The area is π times the radius squared; the radius is 1.5 meters, so A = π(1.5)² = 2.25π ≈ 7.07. Therefore, the numerical value of the circumference is greater than the numerical value of the area.
