Question

find the area and the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 6 yards use the value 3.14 for it and do not round your answer be sure to include the correct unit in your answer

Answer 1

Given a circle with a diameter of 6 yards

The radius of the circle (r) = half of the diameter (d)

so,

`r=0.5\cdot d=0.5\cdot6=3\text{ yards}`

The area of the circle is given by the formula:

`\text{Area}=\pi\cdot r^2`

Use: pi = 3.14

so,

`\text{Area}=3.14\cdot3^2=3.14\cdot9=28.26\text{ square yards}`

The circumference is given using the formula:

`C=2\cdot\pi\cdot r`

So, the circumference is:

`C=2\cdot3.14\cdot3=18.84\text{ yards}`

so, the answer is:

Area = 28.26 square yards

Circumference = 18.84 yards
