Question 3260: Practising and Applying

a) Draw three different circles. Measure each diameter.

b) Use string to measure the circumference of each circle.

c) For each circle, calculate C + d.

d) Did you get the same value in part c) for each circle? Why or why not?

Answer 1

To complete the task, draw three different circles, measure their diameters and calculate the sum of the circumference and diameter for each circle. The values may not be the same because the circumference of a circle depends on its diameter.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Draw three different circles and measure the diameter of each circle.
2. Use a string to measure the circumference of each circle.
3. For each circle, calculate the sum of the circumference and the diameter.
4. In part c), you may not get the same value for each circle. This is because the circumference of a circle is directly proportional to its diameter. If the diameter of a circle increases, the circumference also increases. Therefore, the sum of the circumference and diameter may not be the same for all circles.
