Exercise 26 Page 720

What is the formula for finding the circumference of a circle?

Radius: 59.73cm
Diameter: 119.46cm

Practice makes perfect

Let's find the radius and the diameter of the circle separately. The circumference C of a circle with radius r is calculated using the formula below. C=2π rFrom the exercise, we know that the circumference of the circle is 375.3cm. By substituting 375.3 for C in the formula, we can solve for r.

C=2π r

C= 375.3

375.3=2π r

.LHS /2.=.RHS /2.

187.65 = π r

.LHS /π.=.RHS /π.

187.65/π = r

Rearrange equation

r = 187.65/π

Use a calculator

r=59.730850 ...

Round to 2 decimal place(s)

r≈ 59.73

The radius of the circle is approximately 59.73cm. Now, to find the diameter, we can multiply the radius by 2. 2* 187.65/π ≈ 119.46cm
