Answer:

Circumference of circle = 8π cm.

Explanation:

Given : The area of a circle is 16π cm².

To find : What is the circle's circumference.

Solution : We have given that area of a circle is 16π cm².

Area of circle = π ( radius)²

Plug the value

16π = π ( radius)²

On dividing by π both sides

16 = ( radius)²

Taking square root both sides

Radius = 4 cm .

Circumference of circle = 2 * π * radius .

Circumference of circle = 2 * π * 4 .

Circumference of circle = 8π cm.

Therefore, Circumference of circle = 8π cm.
