Question

Write a function perim that receives the radius r of a circle and calculates and returns the perimeter p of the circle (p = 2 * π * r). a) def perim(r): b) perim(r): c) def perim_circle(r): d) def calculate_perimeter(r):

Answer 1

Write a function perim that receives the radius r of a circle, and calculates and returns the perimeter P of the circle (P = 2 π r). Here are examples of using the function:

>>perimeter = perim(5.3)

perimeter =33.3009

>>fprintf(‘The perimeter is %.1f\\’, perim(4))

The perimeter is 25.1

>>help perim

Calculates the perimeter of a circle

Renewable energy sources, such as biomass, are gaining increasing attention. Biomass energy units include megawatt hours (MWh) and gigajoules (GJ). One MWh is equivalent to 3.6 GJ. For example, 1 cubic meter of wood chips produces 1 MWh.
