Recall the formulas for finding the circumference and the area of a circle.
Circumference: about 25.1mm
Area: about 50.3mm^2
Let's find the circumference and the area of the circle separately.
The circumference C of a circle with radius r is calculated using the formula below.
C=2Ï€ r
Let's now consider the given diagram.
From the figure, we know that the radius of the circle is 4mm. We can substitute this value for r in the formula for the circumference of a circle and simplify.
r= 4
