Exercise 40 Page 74

Use that C=2Ď€ r to find the circumference.

Circumference: 6Ď€ in
Area: 9Ď€ in^2

Practice makes perfect
The circumference of a circle can be found by multiplying twice the radius by π. C= 2 π r We know that this circle has a radius of 3 inches, so we can substitute 3 for r in the formula.
P=2Ď€ r
P=2*Ď€* 3
P=6Ď€
The circumference is 6Ď€ inches. Now we can find the area. To find the area of a circle, we use the following formula. A=Ď€ r^2 Let's substitute the radius into this formula this time.
A=Ď€ r^2
A=Ď€* 3^2
A=Ď€*9
A=9Ď€
The area is 9 π in^2.
