Question

If the radius of a circle is multiplied by 3, which is true?

Answer 1

The circumference is tripled

Explanation:

If the radius started as 2 the area would be 12.57 and the circumference would be 12.57.

Then if multiply the radius by 3 it would be 6 and the area would be 113.1 and the circumference would be 37.7.

12.57x3=37.7

Therefore the circumference triples when the radius is multiplied by 3.

Answer 2

I think that both are true...

If it's one, it's the circumference.

Explanation:

So say the radius is x.

The area is πx^2

The circumference is 2xπ

If you multiply it by 3:

The area is 3πx^2

The circumference is 6xπ
