Finding a diameter, circumference, radius of a circle.


The picture above is the radius and the diameter of a circle.

This is what we worked on in Math on March 19. 2010.



Find the diameter of a circle with a radius of 12.6 m.
Show the formula you need and all the work.
Answer:
  • d = 2r
  • d = 2 ( 12.6 )
  • d = 25. 2 m
Find the radius of a circle when the diameter is 10.5 cm.
Show the formula and work. Remember, when finding
the radius of a circle, make sure you divide it by two.
  • r = d / 2
  • r = 10.5 / 2
  • r = 5.25 cm
Find the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 3 mm.
Show formula and work.
  • c = π d
  • c = 3.14 ( 3 )
  • c = 9.42 mm
Find the circumference of a circle with a radius of 5m.
Show formula and work.
  • c = 2 π r
  • c = 2 (314 ) ( 5 )
  • c = 10 ( 3.14 )
  • c = 31.4 m
When finding a circumference, you have to divide it by π.
When finding a diameter, you have to multiply the number by 2.
And when finding the radius, you divide it by two. Hope this helps. (:
Please alert me if I get an answer wrong. Thanks. :)

  2. Great post Maya! You talked about some of the things we learned so far and even told us the formulas. I liked the pictures you used and your post was easy to understand. Keep up the good work:)

  3. Loved how the answers got darker and darker. It was really fun! You could put up a quick definition of a radius and the diameter, but other than that it was great.
    It was also how you commented on your own blog post explaining why you didn't have a video!
