What is the formula for the radius of a circle?
Radius = Diameter / 2
The radius is half the length of the diameter.
What is the formula for the diameter of a circle?
Diameter = 2 x Radius
The diameter is twice the length of the radius.
If the diameter of a circle is 20 cm, what is the radius?
10 cm
Calculated using the formula: Radius = Diameter / 2.
What is the circumference (C) of a circle in terms of diameter (d)?
C = πd
This can also be expressed as C = 2πr where r is the radius.
What is the formula for the circumference of a circle in terms of radius (r)?
C = 2πr
π (pi) is approximately 3.14.
What is the circumference of a circle if the radius is 2 cm?
12.56 cm
Calculated using C = 2πr: C = 2 x 3.14 x 2.
What is the circumference of a circle if the diameter is 2 cm?
6.28 cm
Calculated using C = πd: C = 3.14 x 2.
True or False: The circumference of a circle can be calculated using either radius or diameter.
True
Both formulas for circumference are valid.
