Exercise 35 Page 351

What can you easily measure on a hoop?

Example Solution: Circumference
Explanation: See solution.

Practice makes perfect
All circles have the same shape, so the instructor only needs to check the size of the hoops to make sure they are congruent. There are several measurements that determine the size of a circle.
  • the radius
  • the diameter
  • the circumference
  • the area

For a hoop, the circumference is the easiest to measure with a flexible tape measure.
