\(C=2\pi r=2\times 3.14\times 7=43.96\)
43.96 feet
Exercise 3 – Area from radius
\(A=\pi r^{2}=3.14\times 25=78.5\)
78.5 square centimeters
Exercise 4 – Area from diameter
Radius: \(12\div 2=6\).
\(A=3.14\times 6^{2}=3.14\times 36=113.04\)
113.04 square inches
Exercise 5 – Radius from circumference
\(r=C\div(2\pi)=18.84\div 6.28=3\)
radius 3 ft; diameter 6 ft
Exercise 6 – Radius from area
\(r^{2}=50.24\div 3.14=16\), so \(r=4\).
4 meters
Exercise 7 – Pi as 22/7
\(C=2\times\frac{22}{7}\times 14=88\).
\(A=\frac{22}{7}\times 14^{2}=\frac{22}{7}\times 196=616\)
88 cm; 616 square centimeters
Exercise 8 – Semicircle perimeter
Curved part: \(\frac{1}{2}\times 3.14\times 10=15.7\).
Add the diameter: \(15.7+10=25.7\)
25.7 inches
Exercise 9 – Quarter circle
\(\frac{1}{4}\times 3.14\times 8^{2}=\frac{1}{4}\times 200.96=50.24\)
50.24 square inches
Exercise 10 – In terms of pi
\(C=\pi d=9\pi\).
Radius is \(\frac{9}{2}\), so \(A=\pi\left(\frac{9}{2}\right)^{2}=\frac{81}{4}\pi\)
\(9\pi\) m; \(\frac{81}{4}\pi\) square meters
Exercises 11 and up
Exercise 11 – Bike wheel
One turn = circumference: \(3.14\times 26=81.64\) in.
Ten turns: \(81.64\times 10=816.4\)
81.64 inches; 816.4 inches
Exercise 12 – Two pizzas
Small: \(3.14\times 6^{2}=113.04\).
Large: \(3.14\times 8^{2}=200.96\).
\(200.96-113.04=87.92\)
113.04 and 200.96 square inches; the large has 87.92 more
Exercise 13 – Composite figure
Rectangle: \(10\times 6=60\).
Semicircle radius 3: \(\frac{1}{2}\times 3.14\times 9=14.13\).
\(60+14.13=74.13\)
74.13 square feet
Exercise 14 – Ring
Outer: \(3.14\times 64=200.96\). Inner: \(3.14\times 25=78.5\).
\(200.96-78.5=122.46\)
122.46 square millimeters (exactly \(39\pi\))
Exercise 15 – Garden fence
\(C=2\times 3.14\times 6=37.68\) ft.
\(37.68\times 3.50=131.88\)
37.68 feet; $131.88
Exercise 16 – Round table
Radius: 2.5 ft.
\(3.14\times 2.5^{2}=3.14\times 6.25=19.625\approx 19.63\)
19.63 square feet
Exercise 17 – Running track
One lap: \(3.14\times 100=314\) yd.
\(3\times 314=942\)
942 yards
Exercise 18 – Circle in a square
The circle has radius 5: \(3.14\times 25=78.5\).
Square: \(10\times 10=100\).
\(100-78.5=21.5\)
21.5 square inches
Exercise 19 – Pie crust
\(3.14\times 4.5^{2}=3.14\times 20.25=63.585\approx 63.59\)
63.59 square inches
Exercise 20 – Clock hand
In one hour the tip goes once around a circle of radius 6 in.
\(C=2\times 3.14\times 6=37.68\)
37.68 inches
Key facts behind this circles practice solutions
- Diameter \(d = 2r\); radius is half the diameter.
- Circumference \(C = \pi d = 2\pi r\).
- Area \(A = \pi r^2\) (square the radius first).
- \(\pi\) is about \(3.14\) or \(\frac{22}{7}\); leave answers in terms of pi to be exact.
- A semicircle has half the area of the circle; its perimeter adds the diameter.
How to use this circles practice solutions
