Explanation

The circumference of a circle is given by the formula 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle.

Multiple choice

A circle is a two-dimensional geometric figure that is defined by a fixed point (the center) and a fixed distance (the radius) from the center to any point on the circle. What is the area of a circle with radius 5?

  1. 25π

  2. 50π

  3. 75π

  4. 100π
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The area of a circle with radius r is given by the formula πr^2. Therefore, the area of a circle with radius 5 is π * 5^2 = 25π.

Multiple choice

A circle has a radius of 10 cm. What is the circumference of the circle in centimeters?

  1. 20π

  2. 30π

  3. 40π

  4. 50π
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The circumference of a circle is given by 2πr, where r is the radius. Substituting r = 10 cm, we get the circumference as 2π * 10 cm = 20π cm.

Multiple choice
