Find the circumferences of the two circles. Circle A has a radius of 21 meters and Circle B has a radius of 28 meters.Is the relationship between the radius of a circle and the distance around the circle the same for all circles?

The circumference of a circle is given by the formula C = 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle and π (pi) is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159.

Using this formula, we can find the circumferences of Circle A and Circle B:

Circumference of Circle A = 2π(21) = 42π meters

Circumference of Circle B = 2π(28) = 56π meters

To answer the second part of the question, yes, the relationship between the radius of a circle and the distance around the circle (circumference) is the same for all circles. The formula for the circumference of a circle, C = 2πr, shows that the circumference is directly proportional to the radius. This means that if we double the radius, we will also double the circumference, and if we triple the radius, we will also triple the circumference, and so on. This relationship holds true for all circles, regardless of their size or location.
