C Correct answer
Explanation

The formula for the area of a circle is $\pi r^2$. The expression $2\pi r$ represents the circumference of a circle, making this statement incorrect.

  2. 2x(22/7)

  3. (22/7)xR^2

  4. (22/7)x2^R

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The area of a circle is pi * R^2. Using 22/7 as the standard approximation for pi, the formula is (22/7) * R^2. Option 407792 is the correct representation of this area formula.

A Correct answer
Explanation

The perimeter (circumference) of a circle is 2 * pi * R. Using 22/7 as an approximation for pi, the formula becomes 2 * (22/7) * R. Option 407798 correctly identifies this geometric formula.

B Correct answer
Explanation

The largest square inscribed in a circle has a diagonal equal to the circle's diameter, which is 8 cm. The area of a square with diagonal $d$ is $d^2 / 2$. Thus, the area is $8^2 / 2 = 64 / 2 = 32$ square centimeters. Distractors represent incorrect formulas or area of the circumscribed square (64).

B Correct answer
Explanation

A square circumscribing a circle of diameter 8 cm has a side length equal to the diameter of the circle, which is 8 cm. The perimeter of this square is $4 \times 8 = 32$ cm. Distractors like 16, 24, and 48 represent incorrect side-to-perimeter scaling or area calculations.

  3. the ratio of a circle’s diameter to its circumference.

  4. the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter

  5. the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its radius.

D Correct answer
Explanation

The formal mathematical definition of pi is the ratio of a circle's circumference (C) to its diameter (D), written as pi = C/D. Option C incorrectly reverses this ratio (diameter to circumference would give 1/pi), while option E incorrectly uses radius instead of diameter (C/radius would equal 2pi, not pi). Option B is only a decimal approximation.
