  • Question
    How do we figure circumference if the area of a circle is 3.14 cm squared?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    Divide the area by pi; that gives you r ². Find the square root; that gives you r. Double it; that gives you the diameter. Multiply by pi; that gives you the circumference.
  • Question
    How do I find the area of a circle when I have the circumference?
    Community Answer
    Pi x diameter = Pi x (2 x radius) = Circumference So: Radius = Circumference/(2xPi) Once you have the radius, use this formula: Area = Pi x radius^2
  • Question
    How do I find the circumference of a circle that has an area of 452.16 square meters?

    Divide the area by pi. That's the square of the radius. Find the square root. That's the radius. Double it. That's the diameter. Multiply by pi. That's the circumference.
  • Question
    How do I find the circumference given the area of the circle in terms of pi?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    Divide the area by pi to get the square of the radius. Take the square root to get the radius. Double it to get the diameter. Multiply by pi to get the circumference.
  • Question
    If the radius of a circle is 15.3 centimeters, then what is the diameter?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    The diameter is twice the radius.
  • Question
    Why is pi irrational?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    Pi is irrational because its value cannot be exactly expressed as a fraction (that is, a ratio of integers). 22/7 is often used as an expression of pi, but it is only an approximation of the true value. Even 3.14159 is only an approximation of pi's value (which is actually an apparently endless decimal number).
  • Question
    How do I calculate the area of a circle with a given circumference?
    Community Answer
    Remember these; a=2πr, and C=πr². First you need to find the square root of the circumference, and then divide that by π. This will be the radius of the circle, and then you simply find the area using the formula. Using algebraic rulings, you can also do this backwards, from the area to the circumference.
  • Question
    How do I find the circumference of a circle within a square with only the measurement of the square length?

    Community Answer
    If the circle is touching the sides of the square, that means that the diameter of the circle equals the length of the square side. Just multiply the diameter by pi, and you have your circumference!
  • Question
    How am I supposed to solve for the circumference and area, if the radius they gave me was x+1?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    Treat that radius as if it were an actual number. To find the circumference, you double the radius and multiply by pi. To find the area, you square the radius and multiply by pi.
  • Question
    How do I find the diameter of a circle whose area is 28.26?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    Divide the area by pi: that's the square of the radius. Find the square root: that's the radius. Double it: that's the diameter.
  • Question
    What unit is the circumference of a circle measured in: meters cubed, meters squared, or just meters?
    Community Answer
    The circumference of a circle is length rather than area, so it would just be meters.
  • Question
    What is the area of a circle with a 36-meter diameter?
    Community Answer
    The radius, half the diameter, would be 18. You would square 18 to get 324. After that, multiply by pi.
  • Question
    How can I do this in centimeters?
    Community Answer
    Centimeters are a unit of measurement. You do the same math, and it is simply in the centimeters unit.
  • Question
    How do I calculate the circumference if I know the area?
    Community Answer
    Work out the radius by rearranging the formula A = Pi x r^2 to get r = sqrt Pi / sqrt A. Then, double the radius by multiplying it by two and use the formula C = Pi x d.
  • Question
    A circle radius is increased by 8 percent. Find the increase in the city's area.
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    The area increases by the square of 8%, or 64%.
  • Question
    How do you find the radius of a circle when you already know the area (Area is 40cm2)?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    Divide the area by pi. Then find the square root of that quotient.
  • Question
    Do we square the circumference?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    No. It's never necessary to square the circumference. If you're looking for the area, you would square the radius and multiply by pi.
  • Question
    What do I do when I cant find the diameter?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    If you know the circle's radius, double it. If you know its circumference, divide it by pi. If you know its area, divide it by pi, then find the square root of that quotient. If you do not know the circle's radius, area or circumference, you cannot find its diameter.
  • Question
    How to calculate the circumference of a half circle?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    First treat it as if it were a full circle. Find its circumference. Then divide that by 2.
  • Question
    A circle has an area of 154, what is the circmference?
    Donagan
    Top Answerer
    Dividing the area by pi gives 49.02, which is the square of the radius. So the radius is almost exactly 7, and the diameter is 14. Multiply the diameter by pi to get the circumference: 43.98 square units.
