Question

An ant is standing at the center of a perfectly circular plate. If the ant crawled in a straight line, he would have to crawl 6 inches to reach the edge of the plate. How many inches would he crawl if he crawled a full circle around the edge of the plate?

Answer

We need to find the circumference:

$\text{circumference of a circle} = 2\pi r = d\pi$

In this formula stands for the radius and stands for the diameter.

The distance the ant must crawl to the edge from the center is the radius of the circle.

Plug in 6 inches for :

$\text{circumference of a circle} = 2\pi r = 2\pi6 = 12\pi$

Question

If the circumference of a circle is $8\pi$ , what is the radius of the circle?

Answer

The formula for the circumference of a circle is $C=2\pi r$ .

The problem gives us the circumference, so plug that in:

$8\pi=2\pi r$

Notice that the $\pi$ 's cancel out:

Divide both sides by :

$\frac{8}{2}=r$

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

If the circumference of a circle is $8\pi$ , what is the diameter of the circle?

Answer

The diameter of the circle is twice the radius, or . We first need to find the radius using the information that has been given to us.

The formula for the circumference of a circle is $C=2\pi r$ .

The problem gives us the circumference, so plug that in:

$8\pi=2\pi r$

Notice that the $\pi$ 's cancel out:

Divide both sides by :

$\frac{8}{2}=r$

Plug that into our first equation:

Question

If the diameter of a circle is , what is the circumference?

Answer

The formula for circumference is $C=2\pi r$ . The problem gives us the diameter instead of the radius, so we need to convert.

The diameter is twice the radius or .

This means that, for this circle, .

Divide both sides by :

$\frac{14}{2}=r$

Plug this value into our initial equation to solve:

$C=2\pi r$

$C=2\pi *7$

$C=14\pi$
