Question

A circle's circumference is approximately 76 cm. Estimate the radius, diameter, and area of the circle by using 3 for pi.​

Answer 1

d=25.34cm

a=160.53cm

cf=12.67cm

Explanation:

circumference=cf

diameter=d

radius=r

area=a

d=2r

=2×12.67cm

=25.34cm

cf=2πr

76cm=2(3)r

76cm=3r

2

38cm=r

3

r=12.66^cm

r=12.67cm

find the area

a=πr^2

a=12.67×12.67πcm

a=160.53πcm(it is near to this)

Answer 2

Explanation:

Circumference = 76cm

Circumference = 2(π)(r)

r -> radius

=> 2(π)(r) = 76

=> (π)(r) = 76/2

=> (π)(r) = 38

=> 3r = 38

=> r = 38/3

=> r = 13cm (Approx.)

Diameter = 2r = 2(13) = 26cm

Area = π(r)^2

= 3(13)^2

= 3(169)

= 507 cm^2
