A Correct answer
Explanation

The area of a circle is found by using the formula $A = πr^2$. Therefore, the area of the circle is $π imes 5^2 = 25π$ square centimeters.

Multiple choice

A circle has a radius of 8 centimeters. What is the circumference of the circle?

  1. 16π centimeters

  2. 24π centimeters

  3. 32π centimeters

  4. 40π centimeters
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The circumference of a circle is found by using the formula $C = 2πr$. Therefore, the circumference of the circle is $2π imes 8 = 16π$ centimeters.

Multiple choice

A circle has a radius of 10 centimeters. What is the area of the circle?

  1. \(100\pi\) square centimeters
  2. \(200\pi\) square centimeters
  3. \(300\pi\) square centimeters
  4. \(400\pi\) square centimeters
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The area of a circle is given by the formula (A = \pi r^2). Here, the radius (r = 10) centimeters. Plugging this value into the formula, we get: (A = \pi (10)^2 = 100\pi) square centimeters.

Multiple choice

A farmer has a circular field with a radius of 100 meters. If the farmer plants 100 seeds per square meter, how many seeds are needed to plant the entire field?

  1. 31,416

  2. 62,832

  3. 125,664

  4. 251,328
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Area of the field = π * Radius^2 = π * 100^2 = 31,416 square meters. Number of seeds needed = Area of the field * Number of seeds per square meter = 31,416 * 100 = 3,141,600.
